High-energy synchrotron X-ray tomography coupled with digital image correlation highlights likely failure points inside ITER toroidal field conductors

Abstract Two sections of heat-treated (HT) and non-heat-treated (NHT) Cable-in-Conduit Conductor (CICC) of a design similar to the ITER tokomak have been imaged using very high energy X-ray tomography at the ESRF beamline ID19. The sample images were collected at four temperatures down to 77 K. Thes...
