A recent study in the frame of the Test Blanket Working Group aimed to identify general issues connected to solid breeder blanket concept and to assess particular needs related to the development of its different variants. The present paper overviews the results of this study, outlining its outcomes for the implementation of an international co-operation programme and giving guidelines for the identification of a limited number of basic TBM configurations suitable for being tested in ITER.
