Cooling water in the primary circuit in both fission and fusion nuclear reactors is unavoidably exposed to neutrons leading to the generation of problematic short-lived isotopes, most importantly, 16N (T1/2=7.3s) via the 16O(n,p)16N reaction. This presents a significant itinerant radiation source to consi…

In support of the technological requirements for fusion, the UK fusion technology programme is conducting several experiments using the ASP DT neutron irradiation facility at AWE Aldermaston. The present experimental programme covers two key areas of technology development: improving the quality of nuclear cross-section data required for fusion-rel…
