Boron carbide, in nuclear reactor neutron absorber applications, generates large quantities of helium, some of which is trapped in small bubbles within the grains. Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the size distribution, shape and density of these bubbles in boron carbide irraidated to temperatures between 540/sup 0/C and 2000/sup 0/C to burnups between 27 and 62 x 10/sup 20/ captures/cm/sup 3/.
