The 22nd International Conference onFusion Reactor Materials

September 28 to October 3, 2025
Shizuoka, JapanSCOPEICFRM is the major international conference and the leading platform for experts
studying, developing and characterizing materials for fusion energy technologies.
This biennial conference focuses on structural, functional, plasma facing andhigh heat flux materials including irradiation effects, materials engineering andtechnologies, and cutting-edge research. The ICFRM-22 will include plenary
lectures, invited and contributed oral presentations, as well as poster sessions
and tutorials. As hosts, we are looking forward to welcoming you in Shizuoka,
Japan, while encouraging interesting and inspiring discussions, interactions andscience.

SCIENTIFIC TOPICS
Within this conference, the topics of presentation and discussion of new scientificand technical developments on fusion materials have been divided as follows:

A. Development and qualification of structural materials for
DEMO and beyond.
• Ferritic/martensitic steels• Advanced and ODS steels• Ceramics, ceramic composites, and other low-Z materials• Tungsten, refractory alloys, and other high-Z materials• Novel highly radiation-resistant alloys

B. Materials for high heat flux plasmas facing components:
divertor, limiter, first wall.
• Plasma-facing materials• High heat-flux materials: heat-sink and structural application• Materials for limiters• Liquid metal divertors: material issues

C. Development and characterization of functional materials
applied in blankets and other n-irradiation affected systems• Breeding and neutron multiplier ceramic materials• Coatings• Barriers, insulating materials and flow-channel inserts• Plasma-diagnostic system materials• First mirrors and auxiliary systems• Magnetic materials
D. Fusion-specific applications of materials, including
environmental effects.

• Tritium and deuterium: retention, accumulation, diffusion and release, including
effects of irradiation• Concomitant hydrogen and helium embrittlement• Irradiation and coolant accelerated crack extension• Chemical compatibility: oxidation, corrosion, and environmental effects

E. Materials engineering and application including joining ofsimilar or dissimilar materials.

• Fabrication and materials engineering• Joining of similar and dissimilar materials: process optimization, properties anddevelopment of characterization methods• TBM: material issues and technologies• ITER material technologies open issues

F. Qualification of irradiation effects in neutron sources,
accelerators and other test systems including advanced
characterization methods.

• Intense fusion neutron sources for materials validation• Approaches to best estimate irradiated materials engineering data combining
databases and modeling ITER-TBM as irradiation test bed and model verification• Other neutron irradiation devices and test facilities• Advanced microscopy and characterization methods

G. Materials-design interface and interactions codes,
standards, and standardization including SSTT.

• Materials database development and material property handbooks• Advanced design methodologies and design criteria for future fusion facilities• Damage accumulation, interaction and critical failure modes• Development of test technologies towards standardization and norms including
SSTT• Safety criteria and requirements

H. Fundamental studies of radiation effects: modeling andexperimental validation.
• Multi-scale approaches and design of radiation resistant materials• Defect production and microstructural evolution• Fundamental helium, hydrogen, and tritium effects

I. National fusion projects and private fusion activities.
J. Cross-cutting issues and synergism with materials
applications in other large-scale projects or highly loadedsystems.

• Cross-cutting material issues for fusion and fission nuclear power systems• Synergies with material development in other energy research communities• Education and training

LANGUAGE

The working language of the conference is English.
