Hyperstoichiometric uranium carbide single crystal specimens have been irradiated to doses of up to 5.4 × 10 16 f/cm 3 at ∼ 130° C. A transmission electron microscope examination of thin films has shown that a dose of 1.4 × 10 16 f/cm 3 results in the formation of observable clusters in the uranium...
