Description

The mission of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-DEMO Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is to test materials under equivalent nuclear fusion irradiation conditions and doses to be qualified for the future fusion power plant DEMO.
Transmutation calculations are essential for understanding how radiation can affect materials. Therefore, a comparison of transmutation in IFMIF-DONES and DEMO is crucial. For this reason, transmutation calculations have been performed for EUROFER97 material samples in the High Flux Test Module (HFTM) and in the first wall of DEMO. For IFMIF-DONES has been considered a specimen material in the first line of the beam in rig 45 inside the HFTM, using different beam energies 25, 30, 35 and 40 MeV. For DEMO data has been considered three blanket concepts in the Eurofusion roadmap, such as Dual Coolant Lithium Lead (DCLL), Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) and Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB).
