Shear punch mechanical testing was performed on neutron-irradiated HT-9 and 14YWT alloys, comparing the traditional ferritic/martensitic steel with the advanced oxide dispersion strengthened nanostructured ferritic alloy. The samples were irradiated at various temperatures between 380°C and 520°C. In HT-9, on increasing the irradiation temperature, the 1% offset shear stress and maximum shear stress decreased. The advanced 14YWT alloy was less sensitive to irradiation temperature with respect to irradiation hardening. However, it still exhibited irradiation hardening at each temperature.
