Description

In order to predict irradiation effects of materials in fusion DEMO reactors with high accuracy, developing a mechanistic model is necessary based on theoretical understating the dependence of material behaviors on irradiation parameters such as irradiation temperature, dose rate and helium production rate. In this presentation, the current status of modeling and simulation research activities on irradiation effects will be reported with focusing on void swelling phenomenon in RAFM steel of a blanket structural material. In addition, role of fusion neutron source facilities in modeling and simulation studies of the material irradiation effects will be presented.
