Abstract
The results of experiments on the irradiation of diamond which attest to the fruitfulness of the zone theory of damage to materials are presented. The theory is used to derive an expression for the effective average integrated γ-ray flux striking radiation defects during irradiation in a reactor. It is shown by statistical analysis of the results on the critical neutron fluence for reactor graphite that when the average γ-ray flux is taken into account, other conditions being equal, the statistical error in the estimate of the critical neutron fluence for graphite decreases by a factor of 1.5. This shows that the effective average integrated γ-ray flux is another important parameter of the irradiation conditions, and this expands the physical meaning of the radiation composition factor. 3 figures, 1 table, 9 references.
