As Reduced Activation Ferritic/Martensitic (RAFM) steel is considered the primary candidate for use as a structural material in fusion power reactors,many countries are developing different kinds of RAFM.China is developing new CLAM (China Low Activation Martensitic) steel.The study investigates microstructural changes in CLAM steel implanted with deuterium ions induced by 1250 keV electron irradiation from R.T.to 873 K,and observes both the growth and shrinkage of the defect clusters produced by deuterium ion implantation under the electron irradiation.
