Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | The project has directly resulted in the creation of a collaboration to study the effects of radiation damage on materials for accelerators and for nuclear reactors. This has already made detailed studies of radiation damage to graphite and beryllium. |
| Collaborator Contribution | See above. |
| Impact | The collaboration is still active. It is multi-disciplinary, involving physicists, engineers and material scientists. |
