A majority of radiation effects studies are connected with creation of\nradiation-induced defects in the crystal bulk, which causes the observed\ndegradation of material properties. The main objective of this chapter is to\ndescribe the mechanisms of recovery from radiation damage, which operate during\nirradiation but are usually obscured by the concurrent process of defect\ncreation. Accordingly, the conventional rate theory is modified with account of\nradiation-induced Schottky defect formation at extended defects, which often\nacts against the mechanisms based on the Frenkel pair production in the crystal\nbulk. The theory is applied for the description of technologically and\nfundamentally important phenomena such as irradiation creep, radiation-induced\nvoid annealing and the void ordering.\n
