During the operation of a nuclear fission reactor in a nuclear power plant, fission fragments crash trough the crystal lattice of the nuclear fuel creating defects such as vacancies, interstitial atoms and their clusters. The vacancies combine together to form bubbles that fill up with fission produced gas during the burning of the nuclear fuel.
