Description

Inside nuclear reactors, materials are irradiated with high-energy neutrons, and then their properties will degrade because of the formation of irradiation-induced lattice defects. Therefore, it is very important not only to identify and characterize their crystalline defects but also to understand stability of induced defects. In this report, advances on characterization of high-energy-neutron-induced crystalline defects into mainly non-oxide ceramics studied by our group are reviewed. Recovery behavior of ceramics is also mentioned shortly. (J.P.N.)
