Understanding a material's radiation tolerance requires examining its performance under different irradiation conditions. Here, we investigate the radiation tolerance in terms of helium bubble damage in tungsten irradiated in-situ with 16 keV helium at 1073 K and 1223 K. Damage evolution represented by helium bubble density, size and total change in volume in the grain matrices and the grain boundaries are quantified as a function of fluence. Preferential large bubble formation and a higher change in volume on the grain boundaries occurred at 1223 K, suggesting faster migration of certain helium-vacancy complexes as confirmed by a diffusion-reaction model.
