Progress in development of China Low Activation Martensitic steel for fusion application

A series of R&D activities on the structural material China Low Activation Martensitic steel (CLAM) and related blanket technology are being carried out in Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP). A summary of these activities is presented, mainly covering the composition design, property tests, techniques for HIP joining and coating, and activation analysis. In addition, a nuclear material database FUMDS is introduced, which is under development based on the requirement for CLAM data management.
