19. A neutron source for fusion: The DONES Project

Dr Rafael Vila (CIEMAT)

It has been clearly stated that the development of low activation and radiation resistant materials is a key issue for future fusion reactors success. Temperature and radiation conditions are far more extreme than in present applications, including fission reactors. Therefore the need of a high intensity fusion-like neutron source for the qualification of these materials in an environment...

32. Fusion research at CCFE including investments in new facilities

Mr Martin O'Brien (UKAEA)

Magnetic fusion research in the UK is centred on UKAEA’s Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE). UKAEA operates the JET facility for a collective R&D programme by the EUROfusion consortium and also conducts UK research (much of which is also part of the EUROfusion programme). An overview will be given of recent developments, including a major upgrade of the MAST tokamak and new investments in...
