Fission-based, distributed, 14-MeV fusion-neutron radiation source for first wall/blanket component testing and system development

Creators

Description

A large-volume, distributed, pulsed, 14-MeV neutron source, which utilizes the high-powered (270-GW) Power Burst Facility (PBF) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, is described. The concept of utilizing existing fission test reactors to test fusion first-wall/blanket (FW/B) components and systems has been adequately documented. In all previous scenarios, the normal fission spectrum (including tailoring) was shown to produce adequate heating profiles and some tritium breeding. However, one recognized shortcoming has been the absence of the 14-MeV-neutron component. This paper describes a scheme whereby the fission neutrons would be employed to produce the desired 14-MeV component
