Type 316 stainless steel in the 20%-cold-worked condition was irradiated in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and subsequently tested in fatigue. The specimens were irradiated at 550/sup 0/C to damage levels of 8 to 12 dpa and transmutation helium levels of 300 to 500 at. ppM. Fatigue testing at 650/sup 0/C revealed that cyclic life was not significantly affected by the irradiation. However, unlike the results of tests of the same material at 550/sup 0/C, no endurance limit was observed. The absence of an endurance limit is interpreted in terms of thermal creep.
