Abstract
The insoluble inert gas helium has been found to produce significant changes in the irradiation response of structural materials when introduced at levels in the appm range and above. In the structural materials for future fusion reactors, (n,..cap alpha..) transmutation reactions induced at a high rate by the 14 MeV component of the neutron spectrum will lead to helium production rates of the order of 10 appm/dpa. However, until a fusion reactor is available, materials scientists must study radiation effects, including the interactions with helium, by means of accelerator and fission reactor irradiations.
