Abstract
The FWLTB computer program numerically simulates the long-term behaviour of the first wall in a fusion reactor. Its applicability has recently been extended to type 316 SS. In its first part the paper discusses the material property data used in the program. Two sets of data have been evaluated which are based on fast fission reactor and HFIR irradiation tests. These data were used for calculations, the results of which are presented and compared with those obtained for German type DIN 1.4970 SS in the second part of the paper. For a fixed reference parameter set it turns out that 20% c.w. 316 SS has a lifetime three times as long as 15 % c.w. 1.4970 SS if the comparison is done on the basis of fast fission reactor data. If for 316 SS HFIR data are used instead of fast fission reactor data, a lifetime a factor of 6 lower has to be expected.
