Abstract
The objective of the materials program is to establish a materials data base for the design, fabrication and operation of components, and systems for fusion activities, present and future. The U.S., Department of Energy is utilizing reactor design studies to aid in defining the critical issues. They also utilize a broad spectrum of expertise, universities, labs, industry and international cooperation. Design studies such as the STARFIRE reactor study are used. The author comments that in the future, if materials like ferritics and other alloys are to be examined and looked at in the proper fusion spectrum, a neutron source of the right fluence that has a spectrum appropriate for this kind of testing has to be generated. The device they've been studying is the FMIT. The test facility which has been constructed is called PISCES. The author concludes that a study of the critical issues identified for tritium breeders, solid and liquid metals, are needed.
