Abstract

Abstract Gamma irradiation of a simulated nuclear waste storage glass causes the formation of small bubbles in the glass by a process of network decomposition. This behavior is consistent with models previously proposed to account for electron damage in these same glasses. Comparison of the γ-irradiation effects with results of electron irradiations underscores the importance of ionization damage in the formation of microstructural defects and the importance of dose rate on the defect formation efficiency.
