摘要
A weak-beam transmission electron microscopy study was carried out for matrix damage in A533B reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel produced by 3 MeV Ni2+ ion irradiation to a dose of I dpa at 290degreesC. The matrix damage was found to consist of small dislocation loops. The observed and analyzed dislocation loops have Burgers vectors b = a l 00). The dislocation loops have a mean image size d = 2.5 nm and the number density is about I X 10(22) m(-3). Most of the loops are stable after thermal annealing at 400degreesC for 30min. This indirect evidence suggests that their nature is interstitial. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
