The necessity of a neutron source for fusion materials research was identified already in the
70s. Though neutrons induced degradation present similarities on a mechanistic approach …

The main requirement for an efficient and safe operation of the IFMIF plant is the stability of
the Li jet. The stability is related to the thermohydraulic behaviour and can be affected by the …

This paper reports on validation results for the stability of a liquid lithium (Li) target intended
for use as an intense fusion neutron source such as for the International Fusion Materials …

A liquid-Li free-surface stream flowing at 15 m/s under a high vacuum of 10− 3 Pa is to serve
as a beam target for the planned International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) …

Abstract A high-speed (nominal: 15 m/s, range: 10–16 m/s) liquid lithium wall jet is planned
to serve as the target for two 40 MeV and 125 mA deuteron beams in the International …

As part of the engineering validation and engineering design activities (EVEDA) phase for
the international fusion materials irradiation facility IFMIF, major elements of a lithium target …

Abstract The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is a proton/deuteron RF
superconducting linear accelerator. Phase II of the project is underway and includes the …

For the demonstration of fusion power plant technology, DEMO dedicated materials are
necessary to cope with the harsh environment of high energy neutrons. For this purpose, the …

In the developing fusion neutron sources (FNS), a liquid lithium (Li) free-surface jet is
adopted as a beam target for neutron field generation. Owing to beam irradiation, Li must …

Abstract The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is an accelerator-
based D+-Li neutron source in which two 40-MeV-D+ beams with a total current of 250 mA …
