Investigation of He and dpa effects in EUROFER97 by irradiation with He/Fe-ions at 330 °C, 400 °C and 500 °C. TEM analysis of the size distribution of helium bubbles as a function of irradiation temperature. Modeling of helium bubble formation with a kinetic rate model. Influence of two different thermodynamic descriptions of helium bubbles on the rate model. Comparison between experimental and numerical results.
