Following the IAEA Technical Meeting on "Advanced Methodologies for the Analysis of Materials in Energy Applications Using Ion Beam Accelerators", this paper reviews the current status of ion beam analysis techniques and some aspects of ion-induced radiation damage in materials for the field of materials relevant to fusion. Available facilities, apparatus development and future research options and challenges are presented and discussed. The analysis of beryllium and radioactivity-containing samples from future experiments in JET or ITER represents not only an analytical but also a technical challenge. A comprehensive list of xxxx-xxxx/xx/xxxxxx 1

At present, it is the austenitic cold deformed steel EK164 (06Kh16N20M2G2BTFR) ID that is considered as a promising material for the achievement of a maximum damage (no less than 110 dpa) and max imum burnup (≥15%). In this work, we have determined the characteristics of porosity formed upon irradiation in a BN 600 reactor to the maximum damaging dose of 77 dpa in the materials of fuel element cans made of cold deformed steel EK164 ID c.d. A comparison has been made with analogous characteristics obtained ear lier using the standard material, i.e., the cold deformed steel ChS68 (06Kh16N 15M2G2TFR) ID c.d.
