Post irradiation examination (PIE) of the MEGAPIE (MEGAwatt Pilot Experiment) project has been performed on the samples allotted to JAEA. In the experiments, specimens for tensile test are prepared by taking from the component of the MEGAPIE target such as the beam window (BW) of T91. The irradiation temperatures were about 250 $$^{circ}$$C and the displacement-damage levels ranged between 0.75 and 1.74 dpa. After the tensile tests, SP specimens are prepared from the grip part of the tested tensile specimens. Testing temperatures for SP tests ranged from -150$$^{circ}$$C to 250$$^{circ}$$C. From the area of the load-displacement curves (LDC) of the SP tests, ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) was evaluated. Comparison of these data with previous STIP data showed similar values. In addition, the yield stress and ultimate tensile strength were calculated from the SP tests results by applying the conversion equation. These were compared with the results of the tensile tests and found to be in good agreement.
