Recent interest in the use of ceramic materials as structural components, particularly the first wall, of proposed controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors has lead to investigation of their response to neutron irradiation at elevated temperature. One such structural ceramic is Si3 N4 which undergoes very little or no swelling after a large neutron dose at high temperatures.
