Abstract

Reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steel, F82H (8Cr–2W–0.2V–0.04Ta–0.1C), and variants doped with isotopically tailored boron were irradiated at 673 K up to 51 dpa in the high flux isotope reactor (HFIR). The concentrations of 10B in these alloys were 4, 62, and 325 appm during HFIR irradiation which resulted in the production of 4, 62 and 325 appm He, respectively. After irradiation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was carried out. The number density of cavities increased and the average diameter of cavities decreased with increasing amounts of 10B. The number density decreased and the average diameter increased with increasing displacement damage. Swelling increased as a function of displacement damage and He concentration.
