Increased oxidative stress plays an important role in heavy ion radiation–induced cell death. The mechanism involved in the generation of elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) is not fully illustrated. Here we show that NADPH oxidase activation is closely related to heavy ion radiation–induced cell death via excessive ROS generation. Cell death and cellular ROS can be greatly reduced in irradiated cancer cells with the preincubation of diphenyleneiodium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase. Most of the NADPH oxidase (NOX) family proteins (NOX1, NOX2, NOX3, NOX4, and NOX5) showed increased expression after heavy ion irradiation. Meanwhile, the cytoplasmic subunit p47phox was translocated to the cell membrane and localized with NOX2 to form reactive NADPH oxidase. Our data suggest for the first time that ROS generation, as mediated by NADPH oxidase activation, could be an important contributor to heavy ion irradiation–induced cell death.

AbstractThe effects of cascade remnants on Freely Migrating Defects (FMD) were studied by measuring Radiation-Induced Segregation (RIS) in Cu-l%Au at 400°C during simultaneous irradiation with 1.5-MeV He and (400-800)-keV heavy ions (Ne, Ar or Cu). The large RIS observed during 1.5-MeV He-only irradiation was dramatically suppressed under simultaneous heavy ion irradiation. For Cu simultaneous irradiation, the suppression disappeared immediately after the Cu irradiation ceased, while for simultaneous inert gas (Ne or Ar) irradiation, the suppression persisted after the ion beam was turned off. These results demonstrate that the displacement cascades created by heavy ions introduce additional annihilation sites, which reduce the steady-state FMD concentrations. As the cascade remnants produced by Cu ions are thermally unstable at 400°C, the RIS suppression occurs only during simultaneous irradiation. On the other hand, the inert gas atoms which accumulate in the specimen apparently stabilize the cascade remnants, allowing the suppression to persist.

AbstractV-4 wt.% Cr-4 wt.% Ti alloy is a promising candidate material for first-wall and structural applications in magnetic fusion reactors. In the past, fast neutron sources were used to evaluate postirradiation properties of fusion candidate materials. The recent shutdowns of the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) and the Experimental Breeder Reactor (EBR-II) left U.S. researchers without local experimental facilities for such tests. Under such circumstances, ease of experimental control, availability, and relatively low cost make heavy-ion irradiation an attractive alternative, provided its limitations are appreciated. We selected 3-MeV V+ and 4.5-MeV Ni++ ions to investigate the effects of irradiation on the microstructure of V-4Cr-4Ti alloy in the temperature range of 200 – 420°C. The main interest is in the evaluation of this alloy's dimensional stability and susceptibility to irradiation embrittlement. In this paper, we report results of ion irradiation experiments and compare them with available data on fast-neutron irradiation. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of ion-irradiated specimens, we found that the dominant feature of the postirradiation microstructure was a high density of dislocation loops and pointdefect clusters. Density and defect size depended on irradiation dose and temperature. Precipitates and voids/bubbles were not observed, even in specimens that were simultaneously injected with He and exposed to heavy-ion irradiation. Increased transport of point defects to internal interfaces was observed, as manifested by defect denuded zones along grain boundaries, Defect denuded zones along grain boundaries could lead to segregation of impurities and solutes and formation of precipitates on grain boundaries.
