The swelling of neutron-irradiated pure nickel is strongly dependent on its tendency toward saturation. The factors which induce saturation also lead to a strong dependence on irradiation temperature for nickel in the annealed condition. When irradiated in the cold-worked condition, however, the temperature dependence of swelling is strongly reduced but the tendency toward saturation persists.
