Radiation damage and nuclear heating studies in selected functional materials during the JET DT campaign

A new Deuterium-Tritium campaign (DTE2) is planned at JET in the next years, with a proposed 14MeV neutron budget of 1.7×1021, which is nearly an order of magnitude higher than any previous DT campaigns. The neutron and gamma ray fields inside the JET device during DT plasma operations at specific locations have previously been evaluated. It is estimated that a total neutron fluence on the first wall of JET of up to 1020n/m2 could be achieved, …
