The M4F project brings together the fusion and fission materials communities working on prediction of radiation damage production evolution their effects mechanical behaviour irradiated ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels. It is a multidisciplinary in which several different experimental computational science tools are integrated to understand model complex phenomena associated with formation irradiation induced defects macroscopic target materials. In particular focuses two specific aspects: (1) To develop physical understanding predictive models origin consequences localised deformation under F/M steels; (2) good practices possibly advance towards definition protocols for use ion as tool evaluate Nineteen modelling codes across scales being used developed an validation programme based examination neutrons ions carried out. enters now its 4th year close delivering high-quality results. This paper overviews work performed so far within project, highlighting impact science.
