working at temperatures as high as 700 o C. While such coolant has been shown to have multiple benefits, the lack of understanding of the response of structural materials to simultaneous molten salt corrosion and radiation damage has limited materials selection, research and development and the licensing of the nuclear reactors. Here we report advanced microscopy techniques to characterize materials after molten salt corrosion with and without concurrent proton irradiation. We discovered that proton irradiation could slow down intergranular corrosion under certain situations [1].
