This report is the Proceedings of "the Fifteenth International Workshop on Ceramic Breeder Blanket Interactions" which was held as a workshop on ceramic breeders under the IEA Implementing Agreement on the Nuclear Technology of Fusion Reactors. This workshop was held in Sapporo, Japan on 3 and 4, September 2009. Twenty six participants from EU, Japan, India, Russia and USA attended the workshop. The scope of the workshop included evolutions in ceramic breeder blanket design, progress in ceramic breeder material development, irradiation testing, breeder material properties, out-of-pile pebble bed experiment, modeling of the thermal, mechanical and tritium transfer behavior of pebble beds and interfacing issues of solid breeder blanket development. By this workshop, advance of key technologies for solid breeder blanket development was shared among the participants. Also, desired direction of further investigation and development was recognized.
