Abstract
Basic principles of determination of the radiation resistance of structural materials of nuclear reactors with implantation of high-energy hydrogen and helium atoms have been presented. The parameters of the process of implantation of light irons have been calculated. By scanning-electron-microscopy, optical-microscopy, and interference methods, the authors have studied the surface structure of samples of steel-3, stainless steel, and D16 alloy immediately after irradiating them with hydrogen and helium atoms with an energy of 200 to 400 keV in the range of doses from 1016 to 3 · 1017 ions/cm2 and after annealing these samples thermally at temperatures from 300 to 550°C. Threshold blistering doses for all the studied materials and annealing temperatures for visualizing structural defects have been determined.
