IFMIF-DONES is an ESFRI facility based on a 5 MW deuteron accelerator currently under construction in Granada (Spain) as part of the European roadmap to fusion electricity. Its main goal is to characterize and qualify materials under a neutron field with an induced damage like the one faced in a fusion reactor, developing a material database for the future fusion nuclear reactors. Moreover, a list of medium neutron flux experiments in other irradiation areas for fusion and non-fusion applications have been identified previously and are under analysis. The construction phase was officially launched from March 2023, after setting up the steering committee for the DONES Program composed of several countries. To support the preparation of the key documentation and consolidate contributions from parties, a set of tasks is being developed within the framework of the new DONES Consolidation Phase project (DONES-ConP1). In this contribution, the main objectives of the project such as the drafting of the acceptance tests for the procurement, the first version of the irradiation plan for fusion and non-fusion applications, or the update of key project documentation will be discussed.
