Simulating defects in nuclear graphite

Graphite is vital to the current operation and development of new nuclear reactors due to its use as a neutron moderator and is a key structural component of the core. Despite this, graphite is not well understood on an atomic level as a result of the complex microstructure which influences graphite...
