The tensile properties of V-4Cr-4Ti, V-9Cr-5Ti, V-14Cr-5Ti, V-3Ti-1Si, V-5Ti, and V-18Ti alloys were determined at 25, 420, 520, and 600{degrees}C after neutron irradiation to 28--46 dpa at 420, 520, and 600{degrees}C. The yield strength of the unirradiated alloys increased significantly ({approx}50%) on neutron irradiation. Irradiation hardening of the alloys at 25{degrees}C after irradiation at 420{degrees}C was in the order of V-18Ti < V-3Ti-1Si < V-5Ti < V-4Cr-4Ti < V-9Cr5Ti < V-14Cr-5Ti. The total elongation of the irradiated alloys at 25{degrees}C after irradiation at 420{degrees}C ranged from 3% to 11% with total elongation of the alloys in the order of V-14Cr-5Ti < V-9Cr-5Ti < V-3Ti-1Si < V-5Ti < V-4Cr-4Ti < V-18Ti. The total elongation of the alloys at 600{degrees}C after irradiation ranged from 11% to 23% with total elongation of the alloys in the order of V-14Cr-5Ti < V-9Cr-5Ti < V-4Cr-4Ti < V-5Ti < V-3Ti-1Si < V-18Ti.
