The 2023 JET deuterium–tritium (D–T) experimental campaign (DTE3) achieved record fusion energy output (69 MJ), providing a unique 14.1 MeV neutron environment for irradiation studies. A range of ITER material samples were exposed in a Long-Term Irradiation Station (LTIS) within the JET nuclear environment to neutron fluxes up to 2 × 10¹³ n/…
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…
