Abstract. A Japan-USA Program of irradiation experiments
for fusion research, `JUPITER', has been established as a 6 year program from
1995 to 2000. The goal is to study the dynamic behavior of fusion reactor
materials and their response to variable and complex irradiation environment
using fission reactors. The irradiation experiments in this program include
low activation structural materials, functional ceramics and other innovative
materials. The experimental data are analyzed by theoretical modeling and
computer simulation to integrate the above effects. The irradiation capsules
for in-situ measurement and varying temperature were developed
successfully. It was found that insulating ceramics were worked up to 3
dpa. The property changes and related issues in low activation structural
materials were summarized.
