Abstract

A 14 MeV D-T(fusion) neutron irradiation was carried out at fusion neutron source facility (FNS) in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). Specimen temperature was controlled to 288 K. Fluence was 6.1 × 1017to 1.1 × 1021 n/m2. Both TEM thin foil and bulk specimens were irradiated at the same position. At 1018 n/m2, defects observed were single isolated dot defects. With increasing fluence, dot defects changed to complicate structure and made groupings. In a dot group, interstitial clusters and vacancy clusters were observed together. The present result was explained by the modeling that point defects in a nascent damage cascade move in crystal at 288 K and form their defect groupings.
