The selection of first wall and structural materials is strongly dependent on the proposed design of breeding blanket components and the targets for a fusion reactor development. An envelope of parameters which have to be covered in future R and D activities and which have been adapted in different proposals has been compiled. A short description of interesting material groups like ferritic-martensitic steels, vanadium alloys and ceramic composites, major criteria for their selection and a surve
