Material development for nuclear fusion and energy development using actinoids

In our Facilities, fundamental researches on nuclear fuels and reactor materials have been performed by making use of JMTR and JOYO. Authors outline original studies among them currently performed by having myself as the core. Research fields in progress are material developments for the nuclear fusion such as ferritic steel and V alloy and energy development using Actinoids. As the material development for practical nuclear fusion, we do those of low activation V alloys, ferritic steels and Quasi-amorphous actual fusion structural materials using the laser method. As the energy development with Actinoids, studies on nuclear fusion in solids and direct power generation are in progress. (author)
