Innovative nuclear energy system (INSS) designed to ensure effective use of uranium 238 and thorium 232 to produce energy. Maintain the neutron balance of this process requires the development and use of new types of nuclear fuel and structural materials. This requires the development of models to predict changes in their
properties under the action of fields of different radiation, temperature, stress and exposure to various chemical substances. It is important achievement is not the limiting parameters, and the optimal combination of the properties of materials and their working conditions. In this paper parameters such as the fluence of fast neutrons, the reaction rate in the fuel rod cladding and the change of nuclide composition, in particular, developments of hydrogen and helium, influencing the change of the strength properties of steels, are calculated.
