Abstract
Materials typically experience serious microstructure and performance degradations under irradiation in nuclear reactors. To explore radiation-resistant metals with high design flexibility is urgently requested for the safe application of nuclear energy. In this work, we discover an anti-radiation mechanism for this purpose in a gradient nanostructured nuclear grade austenitic stainless steel prepared by a flexible surface nano-crystallization approach. A special 3-dimensional microstructure network, consisting of low-energy grain boundaries, stacking faults, and dislocation networks, is introduced in the nanostructure, so that a large-scale adaptive martensitic transformation mechanism is activated under irradiation even at extremely high radiation doses and high temperatures. Consequently, the radiation resistance is significantly enhanced, while a superior mechanical property is retained, in nanostructured samples compared to coarse-grained counterparts. Results presented in this work thus explore a strategy to prepare radiation-resistant metals in future. Zhang et al. design a nanostructure which activates an adaptive martensitic transformation mechanism in a nuclear grade austenitic stainless steel, achieving extraordinary radiation resistance with non-degraded mechanical properties.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
