Abstract. The outline of research subjects on SiCf/SiC composites to
apply to
the structural components of fusion reactors are described and present status
on material development of SiCf/SiC composites in Japan is
reviewed. Irradiation experiments of the composites using fission reactors
conducted by international collaborations to clarify their radiation response
and to optimize the fabrication processes are introduced.
