We produced a nanostructured ferritic alloy (NFA), 14YWT, in the form of thin walled tubing. The stability of the nano-oxides (NOs) was determined under 3.5 MeV Fe⁺² irradiations up to a dose of ~585 dpa at 450 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT) show that severe ion irradiation results in a ~25% reduction in size between the unirradiated and irradiated case at 270 dpa while no further reduction within the experimental error was seen at higher doses. Conversely, number density increased by ~30% after irradiation. Moreover, this ‘inverse coarsening’ can be rationalized by the competition between radiation driven ballistic dissolution and diffusional NO reformation. There were no significant changes in the composition of the matrix or NOs observed after irradiation. Modeling the experimental results also indicated a dissolution of the particles.
