The effect of phosphorus and titanium additions on the accumulation of vacancy defects in Cr16Ni15Mo3 austenitic stainless steels under electron irradiation at room temperature is studied by positron annihilation spectroscopy. It is shown that, at this temperature, phosphorus has no noticeable effect on the accumulation of vacancy defects. This is due to the low mobility of vacancies and the low concentration of impurities. Titanium, due to its high concentration, enhances the accumulation of vacancy defects during irradiation, but this effect is weak.

One of the major materials problems encountered in the development of fast breeder reactors for commercial power generation is the phenomenon of swelling in core structural components and fuel cladding. This volume expansion, which is due to the retention of lattice vacancies by agglomeration into large polyhedral clusters (voids), may amount to ten percent or greater at goal fluences in some austenitic stainless steels. From a design standpoint, this is an undesirable situation, and it is necessary to obtain experimental confirmation that such excessive volume expansion will not occur in materials selected for core applications in the Fast Flux Test Facility, the prototypic LMFBR now under construction at the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL). The HEDL JEM-1000 1 MeV electron microscope is being used to provide an insight into trends of radiation damage accumulation in stainless steels, since it is possible to produce atom displacements at an accelerated rate with 1 MeV electrons, while the specimen is under continuous observation.
