High radiation damage resistance, high strength, high-strength fatigue property, high corrosion/erosion resistance, and low-activation requirement are very important for the design of structural materials and the related components in nuclear environment and high-energy accelerator driven target systems. To upgrade the system designs such as fusion reactors, fission reactors and accelerator driven target systems, we have to understand fully the changes of mechanical properties and the other properties of the materials and to make clear the mechanism. Our recent studies and some related studies for radiation damage characters are showing as below: (1) High 10 appm-He/dpa of 10 dpa irradiation condition enhanced irradiation hardening of ferritic steel and austenitic stainless steels even at high temperature of 550C under dual beam ion irradiation. (2) Simultaneous triple ion beams (Fe, He, H ions) at 50 dpa were enhanced irradiation swelling of F82H and Fe-Cr model alloys. (3) He can shift and enhance the DBTT of the irradiated F82H steel. (4) He strongly influenced on creep life time of the irradiated austenitic stainless steel, and DPA enhanced the reduction of creep life time. (5) Higher He and H production environments, especially high-energy accelerator target system, can enhance irradiation hardening and reduce the elongation. (6) Under RaDIATE collaboration study, improved high strength Ti alloys have relatively high radiation damage resistance.
