✦ Synopsis

A simple chemical rate theory of irradiation damage in graphite is developed. The equations relate the concentration of various types of lattice defect as a function of irradiation temperature, crystallite size and atomic displacement rate. Numerical values are proposed for the parameters and the predictions of the theory are compared with a range of experimental data on irradiated graphite. It is found that there is good qualitative and sometimes quantitative agreement between theory and experiment. The model is capable of further development applicable to very high temperature irradiation.
