Ceramic breeding blanket is a promising breeding blanket concept for the fusion experimental reactor, and world-wide efforts have been devoted to the design and R&D. Irradiation damages of both of breeding materials and neutron multipliers are one of the critical issues for this type of blanket, and usage of these materials as a form of small pebbles has been proposed so as to accommodate expected irradiation damages without degradation of breeding capability. The present paper outlines the progress of the design of layered pebble bed breeding blanket and also shows preliminary results of concept development related to higher fusion power accommodation and convertible blanket.
