The IFMIF/EVEDA activity has successfully demonstrated a stable lithium flow in the EVEDA Lithium Test Loop and produced preliminary scientific results for the Injector, one of the most challenging parts of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc). Discussions by the BASC are taking place on the possibility of an extension to fully test the reliability of the LIPAc over a sufficiently long time. Recently there have been assessments in the EU and JA which have concluded that there is a need to have access around 2025 to a facility producing a fusion-like neutron spectrum with a minimum flux about half that of IFMIF- this has been given the name DONES in EU and A-FNS in JA. In this presentation, current status and achievements of the IFMIF/EVEDA was presented as well as the Ideas of the neutron source for the post-BA activities from EU and Japan.
