Abstract
Nonmetallic crystals with a variety of structures and chemical compositions have been exposed to fission spectrum neutrons in a core position of the Low Intensity Test Reactor (LITR), Oak Ridge, and examined by X-ray diffraction techniques. Wherever possible, single crystals were employed, and the neutron dosages ranged between 1019 and 1021 neutrons/cm2 at a temperature of approximately 85°C. In no case was a special technique used for examining radioactive materials because the problem of heavy induced radioactivity was greatly reduced by working withcrystals weighing a milligram or less. Both film and counter measurements were employed.Keywords
