The agglomeration of helium atoms created by nuclear fission in plutonium is an important factor in plutonium aging. Using molecular dynamic simulation we found that atomic collision cascades had a significant effect on the stability of helium bubbles, which is a possible reason why rate-equation theory cannot well describe helium bubble growth in aged plutonium. We improved Schaldach-Wolfer theory by considering atomic collision cascade effects, and the theoretical results agreed well with the experimental data and predicted the behavior of helium bubbles in plutonium at room temperature in 100 years.
