Predicting structural material degradation in advanced nuclear reactors with ion irradiation

Abstract Swelling associated with the formation and growth of cavities is among the most damaging of radiation-induced degradation modes for structural materials in advanced nuclear reactor concepts. Ion irradiation has emerged as the only practical option to rapidly assess swelling in candidate mat...
