A Monte Carlo code is developed for the radiation damage in the metals which results from nuclear collisions that create energetic recoil atoms of the host material. The development of the simulation codes for the radiation damage method by neutrons and protons can be highly useful in technology of advanced nuclear systems and nuclear fusion reactors. The aim of this review is to investigate the impact of the radiation damage in the materials by the neutron and proton energy irradiation. The damage parameter used in the evaluation is displacement per atom (DPA) in material as a function of neutron and proton energy. For this purpose, there are some software codes used which are related to radiation damage because radiation damage can be measured as a function of DPA, which is one of the critical issues for high intensity beams, particularly, for protons and neutrons.
