The objective of this experiment is to provide baseline irradiation data on the effects of concurrent helium production and neutron irradiation on the physical and mechanical properties of vanadium alloys. Effects of helium production and irradiation on the alloy microstructures will also be characterized. This report summarizes the status of the DHCE in FFTF-MOTA, the preparations for retrieval of specimens from the irradiation capsules, and experimental results on procedures for the removal of tritium from the irradiated specimens.
