Ferritic steels are interesting for fast reactor core application because of the absence of swelling. As canning material, because of the higher temperature involved, new ferritic steels with oxide dispersion strengthening were developed. Fabrication methods are given and their mechanical irradiation and sodium compatibility properties are reviewed.
