Radiation shielding issues on the FMIT

Conference · · Proc. Symp. Eng. Probl. Fusion Res.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6419630

The Fusion Materials Irradiation Test Facility (FMIT) is being built to study neutron radiation effects in candidate fusion reactor materials. The FMIT will yield high fluence data in a fusion-like neutron radiation environment produced by the interaction of a 0.1A 35 MeV deutron beam with a flowing lithium target. The design of the facility as a whole is driven by a high availability requirement. The variety of radiaton evnironments is the facility requires the use of diverse and extensive shielding. Shielding design without the FMIT must accomodate the need for maintenance and operates access while providing adequate personnel and equipment protection.
