This is a comprehensive overview of fundamental principles and relevant technical issues associated with the behavior of solids exposed to high-energy radiation. These issues are important to the development of materials for existing fission reactors or future fusion and advanced reactors for energy production; to the development of electronic devices such as high-energy detectors; and to the development of novel materials for electronic and photonic applications.

This report presents state-of-the art information on the effects of nuclear radiation on ceramic reactor fuel materials that are being used or being considered for use in various types of reactors. The materials discussed include uranium oxides, uranium carbides, uranium mononitride, uranium silicides, plutonium oxide, and plutonium carbide. The report presents data in the form of tables and curves for physical damage incurred by the fuel materials as a result of their exposure to nuclear radiation.
