Description

A concept of high energy intense neutron irradiation facility named 'Energy Selective Neutron irradiation test Facility' (ESNIT) was conceived at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) for researches and development (R and D) of advanced materials in generic nuclear applications including nuclear fusion applications as a main object. ESNIT is a neutron-irradiation-test facility utilizing d-Li stripping reactions, which is mainly featured by selectivity of neutron spectra, neutron flux level optimized from the stand points of materials irradiation tests and feasibility in technological and financial aspects, good accessibility to the irradiation cells and a modular-type post irradiation examination facility. Characteristics of neutron irradiation field and present status of ESNIT program are described in this paper. Furthermore, advantage and limitation of ESNIT, and materials research to be carried out using ESNIT are also defined for both fundamental and base materials research and fusion reactor materials R and D.
