The internal friction and the bulk modulus of silver were studied after irradiation at 25 K with fast neutrons. The Frenkel defects produced by irradiation cause dislocation pinning and a consequent decrease in the Bordoni internal friction peak. With increasing irradiation dose the bulk modulus first increases, reaches a maximum and then decreases below its original value. The behaviour of the modulus with annealing up to room temperature essentially corresponds to that of the residual electrical resistivity after low‐temperature neutron irradiation. A Frenkel defect concentration c~FD~ gives rise to a relative dielastic modulus decrease Δ__G__/G which was determined to be Δ__G__/(Gc~FD~) = −33 ± 9.

It has been found that aging at room temperature or previous straining of hydrogen charged 1020 steel causes an internal friction peak at 105°K to appear, reach a maximum, decrease and finally disappear. This peak has been explained by a model which involves the dragging along of hydrogen atmosphere
Influence parameters on the irradiation induced change in the Young's modulus investigated for the graphitic matrix for spherical fuel elements are discussed. The irradiation behaviour is compared with that of gilsocarbon graphite.
