Radiation blisters were produced on vanadium, niobium, and molybdenum after bombardment with 150-keV protons. The proton fluxes ranged from approximately 3 x 10/sup 15/ to 3 x 10/sup 16/ H/sup +//s cm/sup 2/ while the proton fluence ranged from 8 x 10/sup 17/ to 7 x 10/sup 19/ H/sup +//cm/sup 2/. Increases in the proton fluence produced an increase in blister size and a decrease in the blister density. The formation of blisters at temperatures below the hydride dissociation temperature was demonstrated for vanadium. 26 figures, 31 tables.
