Effect of grain morphology on gas bubble swelling kinetics under given fission rate \(\dot{f}=2.4\times {10}^{22}\ {\rm fission}/({{\rm{m}}}^{3}{\rm{s}})\) and nucleation factor f n = 0.02. Crystals A and B have the average grain sizes of 1.34 μm, and 4.36 μm, respectively. Crystals B, C, and D have the same average grain volume but different aspect ratios 1:1, 4:1, and 16:1 (ref. 97)
