60. Comprehensive characterization of materials coupling in-situ Neutron Computed Tomography and Digital Volume Correlation

Prof. Zvonimir Tomičević (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb)

2/10/24, 15:00

The IFMIF-DONES facility will be dedicated to irradiating structural materials intended for the usage in future fusion reactors. However, this unique facility has the potential to support additional complementary experiments beyond its primary purpose, thereby broadening its utility to other research communities where neutrons can be applied. Neutrons are extensively used in neutron...

69. Detector development and characterisation for neutron- and gamma-based radiography and spectroscopy for non-destructive testing

Dr. Juan Peñas (Neutron Insights S.L.)

2/10/24, 15:15

Neutron imaging constitutes a valuable technique for the examination of the internal structures of high density and/or metallic materials [1]. As an emerging non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, it offers several advantages over conventional methods involving X-rays or ultrasounds. A significant part of the development of a neutron scanner for NDT is the design and proper characterisation...

70. Neutrons for Industry Applications [on-line]

Sabahattin Akbas

Neutrons are extremely valuable particles for academic research and industrial R&D. Highly penetrating and non-destructive neutron methods are sensitive to light elements and magnetic particles. Increasing the use of neutrons in many areas such as characterization and optimization of new materials, energy storage, semiconductor doping, activation analysis, and medical isotope productions,...

67. Ion irradiation effects in plasma-facing tungsten and its potential alloys

Prof. Enrique Jimenez-Melero (School of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Birmingham)

2/10/24, 15:45

Tungsten is the prime candidate material to manufacture plasma-facing components for tokamak-type fusion reactors, due to its high melting point (Tm~3420 ◦C), mechanical strength and low sputtering yield. However, tungsten exposure to neutron fluxes from the deuterium (D)-tritium (T) plasma reaction generates additional lattice defects in the structure, such as dislocation loops and networks....

89. AANL-DONES: Collaboration Possibilities

Dr. Simon Zhamkochyan (A. Alikhanyan national science laboratory (Yerevan Physics Institute))

2/10/24, 16:00

The International Fusion Materials-Irradiation Facility Demo Oriented Neutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is a powerful neutron irradiation facility designed to study and qualify materials as part of the European roadmap to fusion-generated electricity. Its primary goal is to investigate the properties of materials under intense irradiation within a neutron field similar to that found in the first...
