Void formation behavior under fission neutron irradiation was studied in vanadium based binary alloys using an improved temperature control mode. The latter method employs an electric heater and enables to avoid unwanted irradiation at temperatures during reactor startup. Emphasize was on the effect of the atomic size factor on void nucleation and growth. Transmission electron microscopy and positron lifetime measurements were used in this study. It has been found that a strong correlation exists between the void size and density and the atomic size factor; larger solute atoms yields a higher void density. Microvoid formation at 200°C detected by positron lifetime measurement agrees very well with void formation at 350°C observed by TEM. It has also been demonstrated that the temperature control mode has a striking effect on void formation.
