Activities of International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) have been performed under an IEA collaboration since 1995. IFMIF is an accelerator- based deuteron (D+)-lithium (Li) neutron source designed to produce an intense neutron field (2 MW/m, 20 dpa/year for Fe) in a volume of 500 cm for testing candidate fusion materials. In 2000, a 3year Key Element technology Phase (KEP) of IFMIF was started to reduce the key technology risk factors. This interim report summarizes the KEP activities until mid 2001 in the major project work-breakdown areas of accelerator, target, test cell and design integration.
