The paper presents the results of the analysis of the irradiation conditions and the quantitative estimation of factors that control the lifetime of copper alloys as materials for a conductor in volumetric neutron source coils, as well the results of the analysis of the effect of neutron irradiation at T irr =100°C on the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of copper alloys of Cu–Cr–Zr and GlidCop type and of pure copper.
