Aging properties of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel F82H was researched at temperature ranging from 400$$^{circ}$$C to 650$$^{circ}$$C up to 100,000 hr. Microstructure, tensile, and Charpy properties were carried out. Laves was found at temperatures between 550 and 650$$^{circ}$$C and M$$_{6}$$C carbides were found at the temperatures between 500 and 600$$^{circ}$$C over 10,000 hr. These precipitates caused degradation in toughness, especially at temperatures ranging from 550$$^{circ}$$C to 650$$^{circ}$$C. Tensile properties do not have serious aging effect, except for 650$$^{circ}$$C, which caused large softening even after 10.000 hr. Increase of precipitates also causes some degradation in ductility, but it is not critical. Large increase in DBTT caused by the large Laves phase precipitation at grain boundary was observed in the 650$$^{circ}$$C aging. Laves precipitates at grain boundary also degrades the USE of the aged materials. These aging test results provide F82H can be used up to 30,000 hr at 550$$^{circ}$$C.
