BA DEMO Design Activity is one of the sub-projects on the Project on the International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC Project). Objectives of BA DEMO design activity are aiming at establishing a common basis for a DEMO design, including: (1) holding of seminars and other meetings; (2) provision and exchange of scientific and technical information; and (3) DEMO conceptual design activities. Taking into account of the present divergence in the DEMO concepts, the activity consist of at least the two phases. In the Phase One until the middle of 2010, the activity is mainly done by workshops, which are focused on assessment of the DEMO design basis and definition of critical issues for DEMO design. In the Phase Two, joint work will be organised at Rokkasho to develop potential conceptual DEMO design. This presentation will report summary of Phase One activity and the tentative plans of Phase Two.
