摘要
Significant progress has been achieved within a Conceptual Design Activity (CDA) phase in establishing for the fusion materials community a suitable and feasible concept for an accelerator driven D-LI stripping source that produces neutrons with a suitable energy spectrum at high intensity and sufficient irradiation volume to perform all kinds of irradiation experiments needed to test and develop materials for fusion reactors. This CDA phase was performed during the past few years under the auspices of the IEA by a team of scientists and engineers from Europe, Japan, USA and Russia. The reference design of International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is based on conservative linac technology and two parallel operating 125 mA, 40 MeV deuteron beams that are focused onto a common liquid lithium target with a beam footprint of 50 mm x 200 mm. This concept provides reasonable neutron irradiation conditions to qualify a variety of materials for an engineering design of an advanced fusion reactor. The suitability of this source for the fusion materials community will be outlined and main results of the IFMIF-CDA study are reviewed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
