Under the Agreement Between the Government of Japan and the EURATOM for the Joint Implementation of the Broader Approach Activities (BA Activities) in the Field of Fusion Energy Research, JAEA develop a new site at Rokkasho-mura in Aomori prefecture of Japan as the Japanese Implementing Agency. In this new site, two of the three projects of the BA Activities are to be implemented, namely, International Fusion Energy Research Center (IFERC) Project and International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility/Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activity (IFMIF/EVEDA) Project. In March 2009, the Administration and Research Building was completed, and the other research facilities; CSC&REC Building, DEMO R&D Building and IFMIF/EVEDA Accelerator Building will be completed in March 2010. In this presentation, the specifications and construction schedule of the individual research buildings will be presented, especially special features of the IFMIF/EVEDA Accelerator Building.
