For development of spintronics applications in nuclear engineering, high energy swift ion irradiations on spin-Seebeck devices are achieved. The Tolerance of spin-Seebeck thermoelectricity of the devices against irradiation by swift heavy ions is tough enough under a harsh environment such as very close to a spent nuclear fuel.
