It is shown that simulation experiments on the heavy-ion irradiation of structural materials used in nuclear power facilities can be used for tomographic atomic-stand studies. Experiments have been performed on irradiation of samples of advanced steel used in nuclear and fusion reactors EK-181 and ODS Eurofer by iron ions to damaging dose 10 dpa. The steel is characterized by the presence of a large number of nanosize (2–3 nm) clusters, dispersion-hardening these materials. Irradiation was performed on the TIPr-1 heavyion linear accelerator. Atomic-probe studies of irradiated samples reveal a change in the composition of nanosize clusters under irradiation.
