Since a long ceramic duct can only be manufactured by glazing duct segments, the mechanical strength and deterioration not only a ceramics but also in the glazing joint were measured after irradiation. These ceramic have a sufficiently high flexural strength which is more than 300 MPa before electron beam irradiation, and we could get the experimental results that there was no deterioration on the flexural strength of the ceramic after 1000 MGy electron beam irradiation. No noticeable changes could be seen in the measured tensile strength of Ti-ceramic brazed samples after 1000 MGy electron beam irradiation.

One of dominant factors to determine the lifetime of the structural components used under high irradiation environment is radiation damage. The indentation test will be applied to understand the degradation in mechanical properties. In this study, the technique evaluating mechanical properties from the combination of the indentation test with inverse analysis and the numerical tensile experiment is proposed. In order to confirm that this technique can evaluate changes in mechanical properties, it was applied to ion irradiated 316L stainless steels. The numerical model consists of multi layers whose mechanical properties are dependent on the DPA distribution. The material constants of each layer were identified. The numerical tensile experiments were conducted by using identified material constants. These results are compared with the PIE results of SNS. As the results, it was confirmed that this technique is effective to evaluate the mechanical property degradation due to irradiation.

Post irradiation examination (PIE) of the MEGAPIE (MEGAwatt Pilot Experiment) project has been performed on the samples allotted to JAEA. In the experiments, specimens for tensile test are prepared by taking from the component of the MEGAPIE target such as the beam window (BW) of T91. The irradiation temperatures were about 250 
C and the displacement-damage levels ranged between 0.75 and 1.74 dpa. After the tensile tests, SP specimens are prepared from the grip part of the tested tensile specimens. Testing temperatures for SP tests ranged from -150C to 250C. From the area of the load-displacement curves (LDC) of the SP tests, ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) was evaluated. Comparison of these data with previous STIP data showed similar values. In addition, the yield stress and ultimate tensile strength were calculated from the SP tests results by applying the conversion equation. These were compared with the results of the tensile tests and found to be in good agreement.
