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…
Shutdown dose rate calculations have been performed on an integrated ITER C-lite neutronics model with equatorial port 10. A fully shielded configuration, optimized for a given diagnostic designs (i.e. shielding in all available space within the port plug drawers), results in a shutdown dose rate in the port interspace, from the activation of mater…
