Progress report for Materials Division, 1 July 1981 - 30 June 1982

Abstract

During this period, there was a major reorganisation of the AAEC. Research projects on acoustic emission and hydrogen production and storage were transferred to CSIRO, and research on the laser enrichment of isotopes was taken over by the Division. The Division's research program has centred on SYNROC research and development, high strength steels, fusion reactor materials, and non-destructive testing. In addition, the Division has again provided a number of services to industry and other outside organisations and to other parts of the AAEC. During the year, Mr Mohd bin Harun, Mr Abdul Aziz Mohamed and Mr Pauzi Ismail from the Tun Ismail Atomic Research Centre (Puspati, Malaysis) were attached to the Division for training and practical experience.
