The University of Tennessee proposes to study the relationship between ion irradiation and neutron irradiation in regards to equivalence in radiation damage in two materials and how ion irradiation data can be used to guide future neutron irradiation experiments, to determine the mechanical property changes in the two materials caused by radiation damage, and to explore ways of manipulating point defect evolution and interaction to control mechanical property change.
