Beryllium (Be) has been selected as the solid neutron multiplier material for a tritium breeding blanket module in ITER, which is also the primary option of the Chinese TBM program. But the irradiation swelling of beryllium is severe under high temperature, high irradiation damage and high doses of transmutation-induced helium. Advanced neutron multipliers with high stability at high temperature are desired for the demonstration power plant (DEMO) reactors and the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). Beryllium alloys mainly composed of Be12M (M is W or Ti) phase were fabricated by HIP, which has a high melting point and high beryllium content. Beryllium and beryllide (Be12Ti and Be12W) samples were irradiated by helium ion with 30 keV and 1 × 1018 cm−2 at RT. The microstructures of Be, Be12Ti and Be12W samples were analyzed by SEM and TEM before and after ion irradiation. The average size of the first blistering on the surface of Be-W alloy is about 0.8 μm, and that of secondary blistering is about 79 nm. The surface blistering rates of the beryllium and beryllide samples were also compared. These results may provide a preliminary experimental basis for evaluating the irradiation swelling resistance of beryllium alloy. Full article
