Nine modifications of sintered (distilled and technical) beryllium wer
e irradiated, investigated and compared. The major changes as a result
of irradiation were shown to be variation of density, an increase in
strength properties and decrease in plasticity properties. An expressi
on that links swelling or additional sintering of the material with it
s initial porosity, total impurity content and mean grain size has bee
n suggested.
