Calculations were performed to quantify the damage parameters in the leading candidate structural and plasma facing materials when used in magnetic and inertial confinement fusion systems and when irradiated in fission reactors. The structural materials considered are ferritic steel, austenitic steel, vanadium alloy and SiC/SiC composite. Plasma facing materials included beryllium, tungsten, an...
متن کاملFast Neutron Scattering Measurements with Lead
Fast neutron scattering from natural lead was measured at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s (RPI) Gaerttner Linear Accelerator Center (LINAC). This measurement was performed using eight detectors positioned at different solid angles, with neutron events recorded in time of flight. This experiment used liquid scintillator EJ301 detectors and a tantalum photo-neutron target, which were optim...
