ITER Neutronic Challenges for Upper Port 14
Authors: J. P. Klabacha, B. C. Linn, R. E. Feder
Abstract: The future of magnetically confined nuclear
fusion facilities is extremely promising, yet there are extensive
challenges that still have to be addressed. These challenges range
significantly, but one of the more difficult challenges is nuclear
shielding and nuclear safety. The challenge of adequately shielding
neutrons is especially prevalent at ITER. Throughout the lifetime of
ITER there will be large quantities of high energy (14.1-MeV)
neutrons generated, with the expected neutron lifetime fluence to be
around
0.3
