Abstract
A solution to the problem of radiation stability of metallic materials for nuclear power reactors is suggested. It is by selecting and creat ing alloys with structural (unhealable) vacancies, whose concentration is determined precisely by the stoichiometry of alloys, but being ind ependent of temperature and any other external influences. The advanta ges as well as difficulties arising from the technical application of radiation stable alloys proposed are considered.
