Abstract

A variety of nanostructures of carbon in nuclear graphite were revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM. Theses nanostructures include nanosized graphite particles, quinoline insoluble particles, a chaotic structure and a non-graphitizable structure of carbon. The basic structure of these nanostructures was observed to be nanosized packets of graphitic sheets or nanosized graphene.
