TLDR
In this paper, the effects of helium on mechanical properties of irradiated structural materials are reviewed, in particular variations in response to the ratio of helium to displacement damage serve as the focus, and the main discussion is devoted to the techniques of spectral tailoring and isotopic alloying currently of interest for mixed-spectrum reactors.About:

Radiation-Induced Effects on Microstructure
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the key parameters that influence the microstructural evolution of irradiated materials (metallic and ceramic) is provided. But, the authors do not consider the effect of atomic displacements associated with energetic particle irradiation.

The influence of helium on the bulk properties of fusion reactor structural materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the mechanisms and the anticipated rates of helium generation in fusion materials are discussed; helium introduction techniques simulating fusion conditions are reviewed in some detail and the atomistic behaviour of helium in metals as well as the nucleation and growth of helium bubbles are briefly surveyed.

Control of helium effects in irradiated materials based on theory and experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of helium on swelling, phase transformations, and embrittlement are discussed and a review of the mechanisms underlying these effects is presented. But the authors focus on critical experiments that have been designed and evaluated in conjunction with theory.

The theory of an obstacle-controlled yield strength—Report after an international workshop
TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of the theory of yield strength was assessed at a workshop at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) from May 29 to June 1, 1976, where six half-day sessions were held, each concentrating on one problem area, which was reported on by one or two speakers.
