✦ Synopsis
Ah&net-Samples of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite doped substitutionally with B" to concentrations of 1100, 35,s and S2 ppm have been irradiated to doses of I,2 and 3 x lOI n/cm* (Ni5* (n, p) CoS8) at a temperature of 60°C. It is observed that the crystallite growth parallel to the hexagonal axis is enhanced by the presence of boron at the highest level. The interpretation of this result is considered.
