Status of FMIT
Description
The Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) Facility is a high-flux, high-energy neutron source that will provide a fusion-like radiation environment for fusion reactor materials development. The neutrons will be produced in a nuclear stripping reaction by impinging a 35 MeV beam of deuterons from an Alarez-type linear accelerator on a flowing lithium target. The targets will be located in two identical irradiation test cells, either of which will provide an irradiation volume of 10 cm3 at an average neutron flux of 1.4 x 1015 n/cm2-s and 500 cm3 at an average flux of 2.2 x 1014 n/cm cm2-sec. This irradiation test volume will be at least 500 times larger than that of any other facility with comparable neutron energy and flux
