Abstract A solution to the problem of radiation stability of metallic materials for nuclear power reactors is suggested. It is by selecting and creating alloys with structural (unhealable) vacancies, whose concentration is determined precisely by the stoichiometry of alloys, but being independent of temperature and any other external influences. The advantages as well as difficulties arising from the technical application of radiation stable alloys proposed are considered.
