%X A major part in the EUROfusion materials research program is dedicated to characterize and quantify nuclear fusion specific neutron damage in structural materials. While the majority of irradiation data gives a relatively clear view on the displacement damage, the effect of transmutation – i.e. especially hydrogen and helium production in steels – is not yet explored very well. However, few available results indicate that EUROFER-type steels will reach their operating limit as soon as the formation of helium bubbles reaches a critical amount or size. At that point, the material would fail due to embrittlement at the considered load.
