In 2015, fracture toughness tests on irradiated light water reactor internal materials – alloys X-750 and XM-19 – were completed.The work, which supports the Electric Power Research Institute, represented the first use of new world-class Irradiation-Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking facilities at INL’s Materials & Fuels Complex to perform fracture toughness tests.The resulting data, when combined with previously obtained IASCC data, will represent the most complete picture on the irradiated mechanical properties for these alloys. Looking ahead, I’d like to give you a brief preview of things to come in FY 2016.There is a major initiative to further enhance the Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library making it accessible online, searchable and coupled with the NEID.We will continue our efforts to bring more materials with good provenance into the library.An entirely new website that will incorporate a single sign-on for the proposal system and the NEID, as well as links to many other user-friendly features, will be rolled out soon.We are working to provide our users access to more capa- bilities, such as the IntermediateVoltage Electron MicroscopyTandem Facility at Argonne National Laboratory; as well as increasing our relationship with Office of Science user facilities, such as the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. International interest in nuclear energy user facilities is growing; therefore, we are expanding on our international relationships while seeking out new opportunities for collaboration. Please take a few moments to learn more about all the important nuclear research facilitated by NSUF at Idaho National Laboratory and at our diverse mix of affiliated partner institutions across the U.S. Sincerely, Dr. J.
