Abstract

Beryllium is an important material to be used in the blanket of fusion reactor. It acts as a neutron multiplier that allows tritium production. In order to use this material effectively, some data on creep and swelling behavior is needed.
This report describes the design and fabrication of a creep set-up that will be used to measure creep of highly irradiated beryllium from the BR2 research reactor matrix.
