The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) Engineering Design and Engineering Validation Activities (EVEDA) started in 2007 under the framework of the Broader Approach (BA) Agreement between EU and Japan with the objective of developing a complete engineering design of the IFMIF together with accompanying sub projects to validate the major elements of the technologies essential for the IFMIF Plant. The validation sub projects include design and construction of the prototype deuteron beam accelerator, Lithium Loop Test Facility, and irradiation test of samples in Rigs for High Flux Test Modules. The recent achievements from these activities will be presented.
