Abstract
The term “radiation damage”, as applied to structural behaviour, can be defined as the reduction in load-carrying ability resulting from exposure to radiation. It has been observed that the radiation induced loss in strength of a material could depend upon the type of load to be resisted.1–4 The data in this paper indicate that the structural configuration could be of major importance.
