This is a simulation tool for irradiation induced evolution of embedded metallic nanoclusters.  The tool uses the Nelson-Hudson-Mazey framework to predict the irradiation evolution of nanoclusters in metallic alloys, such as oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels.

The default inputs given are for Fe²⁺ ion irradiation on an ODS steel at a temperature of 773 K with a dose rate of 0.000223 displacements per atom per second (dpa/sec).  The primary output is a plot of nanocluster diameter as a function of irradiation dose.
