3.1.1 Irradiation damage in graphite
Irradiation damage is caused by particle/matter interactions between the high-energy neutron fission flux, in the range 0.1 to 10 MeV with an average of 2 MeV, and the carbon atoms making up the graphite crystal structure. As the binding energy of carbon atoms in the graphitic plane is around 7 eV, the neutron energy is sufficient to displace the carbon atoms from their initial position in the graphite crystal, as well as transferring a significant amount of kinetic...
