AbstractAbstract
[en] Modern accelerators of the Fusion Materials Irradiation Test (FMIT) class deliver enormous power onto their targets. The high beam currents of such machines produce highly activating radiation fields from beam/target interaction and normal beam losses. The 100-mA deuteron beam from the FMIT accelerator produces a backstreaming fast-neutron flux of 1011 n/s-cm2 near the target. In addition, the neutron contribution from distributed beam spill of 3 μA/m along the rest of the machine prevents the use of epoxy resin potting materials in all magnet field coils above 10-MeV beam energies. Two special techniques for radiation-hardened field coils have been developed at Los Alamos for use on the FMIT accelerator. One technique uses vitreous enamel coatings on the conductors and appears attractive for the drift-tube quadrupoles. Another method uses a thermally efficient two-layer coil design that has solid mineral-insulated (MI) conductors with indirect cooling coils, all bonded together in a lead matrix. Test results are discussed, along with applications of the quadrupoles in the FMIT facility that reduce gamma exposures during maintenance periods
