Title: TRANSMUTATIONS IN SiC IRRADIATED IN ARIES-IV FIRST WALL

Book ·
OSTI ID:984270

The change in concentrations of elements due to transmutations resulting from neutron irradiation in the first wall of the ARIES-IV conceptual fusion energy device were determined as a function of neutron dose. SiC burns out at a rate of about 0.5% per effective full power year. The largest impurity concentration is that of He, but several other elements burn in at rates of hundreds of appm/efpy.
