International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), being developed by EU, JA, RF and US, is a deuteron-lithium (Li) reaction neutron source for fusion materials testing. In the end of 2002, 3 year Key Element technology Phase (KEP) to reduce the key technology risk factors has been completed. This paper describes these KEP tasks results. To evaluate Li flow characteristics, a water and Li flow experiments have been done. To develop Li purification system, evaluation of nitrogen and tritium gettering materials have been done. Conceptual design of remote handling and basic experiment have been donde. In addition, safety analysis and diganostics design have been done. In the presentation, the latest design and future prospects will be also summarized.

IFMIF is an accelerator-based neutron source for development of fusion materials. The Li target system consists of a target assembly, a Li purification system and various diagnostics. An intense deuterium beam power up to 10 MW in a footprint of 205 cm $^{2}$ corresponds to ultra high heat flux up to 1 GW/m $^{2}$ . To handle such an ultra high heat flux, the high-speed liquid Li flow with a velocity of 20 m/s and a concave flow configuration are necessary. According to thermal-hydraulic analysis, an induced centrifugal force (160 G) under the concave back wall of a radius of 25 cm is sufficient for IFMIF operation. To confirm the hydraulic characteristics of Li flow, water jet experiment has been done. Moreover, validation experiment in Li loop is planned. In addition, to control tritium and impurities such as C, N, O below permissible levels, a cold trap and two hot traps are used. These technologies have similarities in plasma facing components in fusion reactor. In presentation, the IFMIF Li target technology and its application of to the plasma facing component will be discussed.
