"EUROfusion contributions to ITER nuclear operation"
ITER is of key importance in the European fusion roadmap as it aims to prove the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion as a future energy source. The EUROfusion consortium of labs is contributing to the preparation of ITER scientific exploitation and operation and aspires to exploit ITER outcomes in view of DEMO. The paper provides …

"Neutron activation of ITER materials at JET: initial radiometric observations, DT operations and measurement challenges for long-lived nuclides relevant to waste predictions"
The characteristically intense neutron source generated in deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion power presents notable challenges for materials comprising the structure of the device which are exposed to them. These include radiation damage effects leading to degradation of structural properties with impact on maintenance and replacement frequency, but…

"Neutronics Pre-analysis and the Status of Neutron Spectrum Unfolding for the Development of a Novel Neutron Detector for Fusion"
In future fusion power plants, such as DEMO, D-T neutron emission is predicted to exceed 1×1021 neutrons/second. Accurately monitoring neutron energies and intensities will be the primary method for estimating fusion power, and calculating key parameters, including the tritium breeding ratio and nuclear heating. The Novel Neutron Det…
