This book is a report of the Yamada Conference V on Point defects and defect interactions in metals held in Kyoto, Japan, in November 1981. Thus it is the latest in a series of independently published reports of international confer- ences on the present or closely related topics. The earlier conferences were held at Kyoto, Argonne and Jfilich in 1962-64-68 and at Gaithersburg, Gatlinburg and Argonne in 1973-75-76. In all the volume contains some 200 contributed papers. They are mainly short typical conference report papers of 3-4 pages, with a group of larger (8 page) keynote papers presumably submitted by invitation. These latter papers, although not reviews in the full sense, provide the reader with a brief statement of our current state of knowledge in
