Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

In 1959 the Journal of Nuclear Materials (JNM) was founded and is now celebrating its
Diamond Anniversary year. The present paper is part of a series in which single JNM …

Reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)
steels are the most promising candidates for fusion first-wall/blanket (FW/B) structures. The …

It has been long hypothesized that the structure of a material bombarded by energetic
particles might approach a certain asymptotic steady state in the limit of high exposure to …

Prediction of material performance in fusion reactor environments relies on computational
modelling, and will continue to do so until the first generation of fusion power plants come on …

Simulating collision cascades and radiation damage poses a long-standing challenge for
existing interatomic potentials, both in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Machine-learning …

The development of classical interatomic potential for iron is a quite demanding task with a
long history background. A new interatomic potential for simulation of iron was created with …

Predicting strains, stresses and swelling in nuclear power plant components exposed to
irradiation directly from the observed or computed defect and dislocation microstructure is a …

Vacancy formation and migration control self-diffusion in pure crystalline materials, whereas
irradiation produces high concentrations of vacancy and self-interstitial atom defects …

Most experimental work on radiation damage is performed to fairly high doses, where
cascade overlap effects come into play, yet atomistic simulations of the primary radiation …
