In the problem of modeling of radiation-induced instability of MnS precipitates based on nuclear transmutation effects upon reactor irradiation, existing mathematical models have been considered in order to determine the design estimates of radiation-induced changes in the phase composition of irradiated structural materials of operating power and research reactors.
