The determination of radiation streaming through the various penetrations that will be present in the blanket and shield of a D-T burning fusion reactor is one of the more complicated problems facing nuclear design engineer. Penetrations of varying size and shape will be required for neutral particle injection, rf heating, vacuum pumping, and plasma diagnostics. The radiation streaming through these openings will degrade the reactor performance by the adverse effects of nuclear heating, induced activation, and radiation damage in vital components. The effects of radiation streaming must be estimated during the design of the reactor. Measurements have been made to determine the streaming of approx. 14-MeV neutrons through a simple iron duct imbedded in a concrete shield.
