New generation nuclear fission and future fusion reactors provide one approach to address the world's increasing energy requirements. The irradiation of fission/fusion components can lead to fundamental changes in material properties that affect the stability and performance of not only the material component but that of the entire reactor. How does the material state evolve with respect to the irradiation dose, and can there exist a microstructure resistant to further irradiation? The present work develops a new computationally efficient approach to answer these questions.
