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 reactor|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.
