Abstract
A method for processing structural materials by pulsed bombardment with fis sion fragments in a fuel solution reactor has been developed. The samples w ere irradiated with a particle fluence varied from 10(11) to 5 x 10(12) cm( -2). The surface structure of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite upon the se treatments was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The spect rum of surface defects and the surface roughness of irradiated samples were determined. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
