The Broader Approach (BA) activities have started in mid 2007. The DEMO R&D activities are intended to support the BA activities for design of fusion demonstration reactor (DEMO). The progress so far in the DEMO R&D activities is presented in this conference. Based on the common interest of the EU and Japan towards DEMO, current activities are smoothly proceeding in the following five areas: (1) SiC/SiC composites, (2) Tritium technology, (3) Materials engineering for DEMO blanket, (4) Advanced neutron multiplier, and (5) Advanced tritium breeders. From 2010 these R&D activities will be accelerated, after the preparation of the experimental equipment and facilities is completed.

The DEMO R&D activities are intended to support the design activities of fusion demonstration reactor (DEMO) in the Broader Approach (BA). Recent progress in the DEMO R&D activities, particularly the status and plan for EU/JA collaboration activities, is presented in this conference. Equipment for investigation of the erosion /corrosion behavior of SiC/SiC composites in Pb-Li is under fabrication for installation and experiments at the Rokkasho site. Irradiation of reduced activation ferritic /martensitic steels (EUROFER and F82H) in a Belgian reactor, BR2, is being prepared. Exchange of RAFM, neutron multiplier and tritium breeder samples between EU and JA is planned for collaborative characterization. Thus, the R&D activities are being upgraded.
