Status of modern concepts of high power 14 MeV neutron source

Different approaches to the problem of design and construction of high power 14 MeV neutron sources are described. It has been already well recognized that the problem of tests of existing structural materials so as problem of creation of new ones for future fusion power plants should be solved in t...

Мagnetic Confinement Different approaches to the problem of design and construction of high power 14 MeV neutron sources are described. It has been already well recognized that the problem of tests of existing structural materials so as problem of creation of new ones for future fusion power plants should be solved in the nearest years. It is shown that among plasma-based NSs the neutron sources on the basis of mirror machines are able to solve the problems of materials tests with lowest capital and operating cost. At present, the most advanced candidate both: from experimental and theoretical point of view is the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT). Recent experiment with oblique injection of fast deuterium atoms in warm target hydrogen plasma has demonstrated a good agreement with results of calculations as from the viewpoint of spatial distribution of the neutrons of D-D reaction, so from the viewpoint of absolute value of the neutron flux density. It should be noted that the GDT-based NS is the object of interest even with existing, at present, plasma parameters (more exactly the electron temperature of the target plasma should be increased two times in comparison with the present level). The increase of the temperature from 130 eV up to 250 eV makes it possible to produce a moderate neutron flux density only several times less than that in the full-scale projects. An obvious advantage of this moderate version of the NS consists in the fact that the plasma physics database for such a source has already existed. Thus, the NS with neutron flux density of order of 200-400 kW/m2 can be designed and constructed on the basis of the present day experience. As the next step of such approach significant increase of neutron flux density will be possible in result of increase of power of D-T neutral beam injection. 2000 Article Status of modern concepts of high power 14 MeV neutron source / E.
