Helium Bubble Formation is a radiation-induced microstructural phenomenon in which insoluble helium atoms, generated via nuclear transmutation reactions, nucleate and coalesce into discrete nanoscale cavities within metallic nuclear materials, leading to swelling, embrittlement, and accelerated degradation of structural integrity under intense irradiation environments.
