Activation analysis and evaluation of the radionuclide inventories, decay heat for European DEMO divertor components

Appl Radiat Isot. 2022 Jun 7;187:110314. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2022.110314. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work presents neutron flux calculation results and specific decay heat and activity for the European DEMO reactor divertor structure. Two DEMO 2017 models were used in calculations; one with a homogenised WCLL breeder blanket and the other with a homogenised HCPB breeder blanket. The neutron flux calculations were performed using MCNP6 code with JEFF 3.2 nuclear data. Activation and decay heat calculations were performed using the FISPACT-II code with TENDL - 2017 nuclear data library.PMID:35714517 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2022.110314
