Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy has long been used to study the microstructual evolution in materials as a result of radiation damage. The radiation environment in a fusion reactor is unlike that in well-studied fission reactors, therefore unique microstructures in fusion reactor materials may occur. The fusion reactor energy spectra will be strongly peaked at 14 MeV, whereas typical fission neutron energy spectra are peaked in the range 0.5 to 1.0 MeV We need to know how this higher energy neutron spectra in a fusion reactor will perturb the radiation damage states normally observed in fission reactor irradiations.
