This paper describes the latest design of liquid lithium (Li) target system in International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF). IFMIF is an accelerator-driven intense neutron source for fusion reactor materials testing. Two 40 MeV deuteron beams with a total current of 250 mA strikes a liquid Li target circulating in a Li loop. The Li target is to provide a stable Li jet at a speed of 10-20 m/s to handle an averaged heat flux of 1 GW/m(2), A concaved Li flow is applied to avoid Li boiling. A cold trap and two kinds of hot trap are applied to control impurities (T, (7)Be, C, O, N) below permissible levels. A back wall made of RAFM is located in the most severe region of neutron irradiation (50 dpa/year). System availability requires more than 95% during plant lifetime. EVEDA tasks including Li loop are now being performed under the Broader Approach. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
