The '''International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility''', also known as '''IFMIF''', is an international scientific research program designed to test materials for suitability for use in a [[fusion power|fusion reactor]]. The IFMIF, planned by [[Japan]], the [[European Union]], the [[United States]], and [[Russia]], and managed by the [[International Energy Agency]], will use a [[particle accelerator]]-based [[neutron]] source to produce a large [[neutron flux]], in a suitable quantity and time period to test the long-term behavior of materials under conditions similar to those expected at the inner wall of a fusion reactor.
