Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to understand the role of grain boundaries (GB) on radiation damage in bcc Fe bicrystal. The calculations were performed for a {Sigma}5, (210), [001] symmetric tilt grain boundary for different cases where the primary knock-on atom (PKA) is placed at distances of a{sub csl}, to 15a{sub csl}, from the grain boundary plane. Here, a{sub csl}, is lattice parameter of the coincidence site lattice. Present study shows that the influence of GB on the numbers of surviving defects within a grain is confined within a distance, d{sub opt} < 9a{sub csl}. Our studies also indicate that the grain boundary acts as a reservoir for defects.
