FURNACE calculations for JET neutron diagnostics

Neutron transport calculations have been performed for the JET-torus, using the two-dimensional toroidal geometry transport code system FURNACE, to predict the response of the time integrated neutron yield monitors on the variation of the plasma conditions. Calculations have been performed for the full aperture D-shaped and circular plasmas, for DD-operation and for DT-operation. For the neutron source distribution a simple model was used based on plasma-plasma interaction. For the torus rotation symmetry around the main torus axis was assumed. Curves have been produced that give the radial plasma shift as function of the ratio of the foil activations measured. It is shown that these curves are sufficiently accurate for application in the DT-phase. For application in the DD-phase, however, the flux of neutrons backscattered from the massive torus needs to be calculated more accurately. (Auth.)
