摘要:The nuclear design of fusion devices is based on neutronics calculations. The neutron and
photon flux spectra are calculated with 3D neutron-photon transport codes, and the nuclear
responses are obtained by convolution with the related nuclear data. These computational tools
and data need to be validated through mock-up and benchmark experiments.
Typical experiments, carried out in the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme,
are discussed, in particular a bulk shield experiment on a mock-up of the inboard shield of the
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), benchmarks of the transport and of
the activation data of tungsten and measurements on a neutronics mock-up of a test blanket
module for ITER.
