High-fluence swelling data on stabilized and unstabilized austenitic stainless steels are reviewed with the goal of understanding compositional and thermomechanical treatment effects on swelling behavior. Data on Types 304, 316, 321, titanium-modified 316, 4970, and FV548 are considered. Experimental results from EBR-II, Rapsodie, Phenix, and the Dounreay Fast Reactor indicate that stabilized and cold-worked austenitic alloys with a Type 316 stainless steel base composition will have significantly lower swelling than the unstabilized base composition.
