DEMO toroidal field coil fast discharge unit integration studies
Roberto Guarino, Alberto Ferro
The Fast Discharge Units (FDUs) of the Superconducting (SC) Toroidal Field (TF) coils in the European demonstration fusion power plant DEMO warrant the machine integrity over its full lifetime against severe failure events, such as SC coil quenches or any ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024Overview of fast particle experiments in the first MAST Upgrade experimental campaigns
MAST-U is equipped with on-axis and off-axis neutral beam injectors (NBI), and these external sources of super-Alfv & eacute;nic deuterium fast-ions provide opportunities for studying a wide range of phenomena relevant to the physics of alpha-particles in ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Gamma-Blind Fast Neutron Detection for Spent Nuclear Fuel Characterization
In this thesis, the development and testing of a system for measuring the axial distribution of fast neutron emission of spent nuclear fuel rods is presented. Emphasis is placed on the novel fast neutron detector used which can reliably work in extremely h ...
EPFL2023Vacancy segregation and intrinsic coordination defects at (111) twist grain boundaries in diamond
Carolina Baruffi, Christian Brandl
High radiation damage resistance has become increasingly important for applications of functional materials in harsh environments. The high radiation damage resistance diamond cubic carbon is a unique material which is considered for radiation environments ...
Oxford2023Evaluation of neutron dose rates at the TCV tokamak facility
Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Matteo Vallar
A detailed MCNP neutronics model of the building housing the TCV tokamak has been developed. Predicted dose rates have been compared to neutron dose measurements at 12 locations in the building obtained during neutral beam injection into TCV plasmas. This ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023High-Resolution Photoemission Study of Neutron-Induced Defects in Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon Devices
Sylvain Dunand, Matthew James Large, Giulia Rossi
In this paper, by means of high-resolution photoemission, soft X-ray absorption and atomic force microscopy, we investigate, for the first time, the mechanisms of damaging, induced by neutron source, and recovering (after annealing) of p-i-n detector devic ...
MDPI2022Neutronics Analyses of EU DEMO 2020 EC Port Configuration
The DEMOnstration fusion power plant (DEMO) is being developed within EUROfusion and one of the challenges is the integration of all the systems into a fusion reactor by designs that meet strict design criteria required for safe and reliable long-term reac ...
NUCLEAR SOCIETY SLOVENIA2021APT/TEM characterization of the element segregation in ferritic/martensitic steels after irradiation in SINQ
Ferritic /martensitic (FM) steels are among the most important materials in various nuclear applications. As radiation-induced segregation (RIS) is one of the major factors for embrittlement of nuclear materials, thereofre it is essential to study the RIS ...
EPFL2021Experimental validation of an integrated modelling approach to neutron emission studies at JET
An integrated modelling methodology for the calculation of realistic plasma neutron sources for the JET tokamak has been developed. The computational chain comprises TRANSP plasma transport and DRESS neutron spectrum calculations, and their coupling to the ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2021First observation of spalling in tantalum at high temperatures induced by high energy proton beam impacts
Elvis Fornasiere, Marco Calviani
Spalling in tantalum has been observed in an experiment aiming at testing an antiproton production target prototype at CERN’s HiRadMat Facility. The experiment consisted in impacting 47 intense and high-energy proton beams onto a target equipped with ten c ...
