Times Cited Count：19 Percentile：48.79(Nuclear Science & Technology)This paper reviewed the current status on research and development of advanced nuclear materials and the problems to be solved for getting new materials and new fabrication processes into nuclear market. The development of advanced materials solutions including advanced materials and processes is moving much faster than the actual ability of the nuclear industry to introduce them into design codes. Indeed, getting new materials and new fabrication processes into nuclear market requires many years (approximately 10-20 years) of research, development, qualification and licensing. If the nuclear industry wants to get these innovations into market for the building of advanced reactors, issues of qualification and licensing have to be addressed. New frameworks of development and licensing have to be imagined and international collaboration has to be reinforced to work on the establishment of common data platforms for validation and qualification for these new materials and processes.

Times Cited Count：557 Percentile：98.56(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage. We consider the extensive experimental and computer simulation studies that have been performed over the past several decades on what the nature of the primary damage is. We review both the production of crystallographic or topological defects in materials as well as radiation mixing, i.e. the process where atoms in perfect crystallographic positions exchange positions with other ones in non-defective positions. We also consider the recent effort to provide alternatives to the current international standard for quantifying this energetic particle damage, the Norgett-Robinson-Torrens displacements per atom (NRT-dpa) model for metals. We present in detail new complementary displacement production estimators ("athermal recombination corrected dpa": arc-dpa) and atomic mixing ("replacements per atom": rpa) functions that extend the NRT-dpa, and discuss their advantages and limitations.

Times Cited Count：360 Percentile：99.16(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Atomic collision processes are fundamental to numerous advanced materials technologies such as electron microscopy, semiconductor processing and nuclear power generation. Experimental and computer simulation studies over the past several decades provide the physical basis for understanding the atomic-scale processes occurring during primary displacement events. The current international standard for quantifying this particle damage, the Norgett-Robinson-Torrens displacements per atom (NRT-dpa) model, has nowadays several well-known limitations. In particular, the number of radiation defects produced in energetic cascades in metals is only 
1/3 the NRT-dpa prediction, while the number of atoms involved in atomic mixing is about a factor of 30 larger than the dpa value. Here we propose two new complementary displacement production estimators.

Within this report, we review the current understanding of primary radiation damage from neutrons, ions and electrons with emphasis on the range of validity of the dpa concept in all main classes of materials, and in particular discuss known shortcomings. We recognise that the current NRT-dpa standard is fully valid in the sense of a scaled radiation exposure measure, as it is essentially proportional to the radiation energy deposited per volume. As such, it is highly recommended to be used in reporting neutron damage results to enable comparison between different nuclear reactor environments and ion irradiations. However, in the sense of a measure of damage production the NRT-dpa value has several well-known problems. We discuss this matter and propose an improved dpa definition.
