Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:71.79(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)As a part of the Broader Approach (BA) activities, the research and development on blanket related materials and tritium technology have been initiated toward DEMO by Japan and EU. Recently, those five R&D items have progressed substantially in Japan and EU. As a preparatory work aiming at the RAFM steel muss-production development, a 5-ton heat of RAFM steel (F82H) was procured with the Electro Slag Re-melting as a secondary melting. The result of the double notch tensile test method for the NITE-SiC/SiC specimen indicated notch insensitivity and very minor size effect on proportional limit tensile stress and fracture strength. For the fabrication technology development of beryllide neutron multiplayer pebbles, Be- Ti inter-metallic pebbles have been sintered directly from the mixed powder of Be and Ti in Japan.

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.
