Radiation Damage

  • Chapter
Computer Simulation of Ion-Solid Interactions

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 10))

Abstract

Radiation damage is important in nuclear reactors, where the fission neutrons create heavy energetic recoils in the material. These recoils displace atoms from their lattice positions, thus creating vacancies and interstitial atoms and eventually leading to voids (vacancy clusters) and other damage configurations. The material can swell and is usually weakened, a process not completely understood. This problem will probably be even more severe in a future fusion reactor with a higher neutron flux and a higher neutron energy (≈ 14 MeV). The production of damage by neutrons is relatively complicated due to the structure of the cross sections and the strong selectivity of the material.
