Abstract

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful experimental tool to investigate the microstructural evolution under irradiation in steels for fission and future fusion reactor systems. We present recent SANS results concerning the modelling of helium bubble growth in F82H-mod. steel implanted with α-particles and the dose dependence of microstructural radiation damage in Eurofer-97 steel for fusion reactors irradiated at 250 °C. The discussion of these results is focussed on the quality of the metallurgical information obtained by such SANS measurements and consequently on their usefulness also for engineering and design purposes.
