Abstract
The small quantities of solute interstitial elements in stainless steel (C, N and possibly Si) reduce the swelling under neutron irradiation ( ∼ 2 × 10 22 neutrons/cm 2 ) by more than an order of magnitude between 500 and 600° C over high purity material. The solute interstitials reduce both the numbers and sizes of irradiation-caused voids. Current swelling models ignore — of necessity — this gross effect. Several possible mechanisms are suggested to account for the effect.
