Radiation blistering of structural materials for fusion devices and reactors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4308543
From surface effects in controlled thermonuclear fusion devices and reactors meeting; Argonne. Illinois, USA (10 Jan Radiation blistering can be an important erosion process when the structural components of controlled thermonuclear fusion devices or reactors are exposed to the impact of energetic particles leaving the plasma region. A brief review of some of the important parameters governing the radiation blistering process is given. Erosion rates associated with helium blistering in V, Nb, and Type 304 stainless steel are reported for different irradiation temperatures and different projectile energies. (auth)
