Accelerators simulation of structure-phase evolution and radiation resistance of materials for nuclear reactors

At this presentation activity of KIPT which during many years was involved into the field of simulation and investigation of Radiation Damage in reactor materials, is described. Well known that charge particle accelerators are widely used for the purpose of obtaining express information on radiation resistance and investigating physical nature of the radiation. During irradiation with charged particle beams one could reproduce and examine under well-controlled conditions practically all the known radiation effects and investigate physical nature of these effects in more detail. Simulation experiments together with results of reactor investigation much contribute to radiation physics phenomena, radiation and ion-beam technologies as well as solving problems of creation low-activated materials with good radiation resistance. Modern status of simulation experiments in investigation of structure-phase transformations in reactor materials during irradiation is discussed.
