Abstract

The effect of proton irradiation in emulating full-range of effects of in-reactor neutron irradiation was studied. Irradiation with protons was conducted at 360°C with doses between 0.3 and 5.0 dpa to approximate those by neutron irradiation at 275°C over the same dose range. The results show that the loop density increases with dose through 5.0 dpa for both particle irradiations and is a factor of 3 greater in neutron-irradiated samples with respect to proton-irradiated samples.
