  4. Issues Related to Neutronics and Radiation Safety • Li+d source neutron characteristics(not only TTY for 40 and 32 MeV, DDY is preferable) • Materials+d source neutron characteristics(due to beam loss along accelerator and beam line) • Deuteron induced radio-activities(Ed<40MeV) • Neutron induced radio-activities(Ed<50~60MeV) • Neutron shielding and streaming from Test Cell • Handling of radioactive materials during operation(lithium, irradiation sample, target assembly, etc.)

  12. Requirements for Neutron Nuclear Data (Neutron cross sections up to 50~60 MeV) • Spectrum Calculation • Neutron DDX (especially at low energy and larger scattering angles) e.g. (n,2n), (n,3n) and (n,Xn) (where X=charged particle) processes are important in some calculations • Nuclear Heating Calculation • Photon production • Charged particle production UNIVERSAL REQUESTSIN USE FOR IFMIF NEUTRONICSPROBLEMS • Activation Calculation • Long-lived residual production • Sequential multi-step reaction process

  13. Status of Neutron Nuclear Data (n,2n) : Generally good situation except for Be, candidate of multiplier material. (n,3n) : Generally worse. Heavily relied on model calculations. Experimental consistency check is recommended. (n,pn) : Situation is better. Systematic measurement to separate (n,d) process is lacked. (n,a n) : Comparatively worse. No systematic study is found. Partial DDX information for each channel is necessary to establish the clear systematic understanding about channel branching, though its measurement is extremely difficult. Theoretical support calculation which excludes the excessive model parameters is inevitable. Continued systematical measurements of the above reaction cross sections at JAERI/FNS and the other facilities (esp. at higher than 14 MeV) is strongly desired and the results are much useful.

  14. Summary • Neutron source characteristics are relatively well-known. • Detailed analyses to deduce Double-Differential Yields for mono-energetic deuterons based on the correct theoretical interpretation are needed. • Deuteron induced activities might be measured at each laboratory, however, these data are not available in a systematical form. • Neutron induced activities are
