In the mean time, renewable energy issue is fanatically being on the table, but it is no doubt that thermal power plant is the major energy source even in the year 2030. Thus, the improvement of energy efficiency by raising the steam temperature is an urgent issue for thermal power plants. In this paper, current activities and trends of materials development for advanced ultra-super critical (A-USC) power plant to be operated above 700°C will be briefly reviewed. Focus is placed on design concept and superior creep properties of novel austenitic heat resistant steels strengthened by equilibrium intermetallic phases, TCP (topologically close-packed) Laves and GCP (geometrically close-packed) phases. A new strengthening mechanism “Grain-boundary precipitation strengthening” by the Laves phase is shown to be important to abtain long-term creep rupture strength. The results clearly show that the Fe2Nb Laves phase is not detrimental but promising as a strengthener for austenitic heat resistant steels. 力（揚水）発電であり，風力や太陽光などの自然エネル 1） 1．はじめに ギーは 1 ％ にも満たない ．大震災前年に策定された 我国のエネルギー政策では，2030 年までに 14 基の原子 自然エネルギーが我国の経済を牽引して持続可能な社 力発電プラントを建設して総発電量の 50 ％を原子力で 会を構築するエネルギー源としての主役になれるだろう 賄うものであった．しかし，大震災以降，この政策の見 か．答えは「否」である．自然エネルギーは大いに活用
