An important contribution to the mechanical stresses present in the ITER ICH antenna is related to the non-uniform heating of its front section due to RF losses, plasma and charge exchange, and the effects of neutron radiation. As a consequence, intensive convective cooling is necessary to maintain temperature and the related thermally induced s…

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority are involved in the design and manufacture of the diagnostic windows for ITER. ITER is an international project, with 35 nations collaborating to design, construct and operate a prototype controlled nuclear fusion reactor in southern France. As well as providing line of sight for diagnostics, the window…

The effects of radiation damage on materials are strongly dependant on temperature, making it arguably the most significant parameter of concern in nuclear engineering. Owing to the challenges and expense of irradiating and testing materials, material property data is often limited to few irradiation conditions and material variants. A new techniqu…
