Abstract
The stress induced absorption mechanism (SIPA) of irradiation creep will be discussed by developing a new application of rate theory which emphasizes particularly the significance of the vacancy loops formed from the displacement cascades during fast neutron irradiation. A simple analytic result for the expected creep strain rate and various related numerical results will be discussed. The relation between irradiation creep and void swelling will be emphasized, particularly in relation to the significance of the vacancy emission processes from the vacancy loops.
