Activity and Dose Rate Calculations for Joint European Torus Outer Long-Term Irradiation Station during Tritium and Second Deuterium Tritium Experiment Campaigns
The Joint European Torus (JET) is playing an important role in preparing for the operation of the future world’s largest tokomak, ITER. In this respect, the tritium campaign (C40) and second deuterium–tritium experiment (DTE2, C41) took place in the JET during the years 2021 and 2022. In this work,...

| description | The Joint European Torus (JET) is playing an important role in preparing for the operation of the future world’s largest tokomak, ITER. In this respect, the tritium campaign (C40) and second deuterium–tritium experiment (DTE2, C41) took place in the JET during the years 2021 and 2022. In this work, a corresponding irradiation scenario was utilized for the activation calculations of eight material foils located at the JET outer long-term irradiation station (OLTIS). Neutron-induced activities and dose rates at a 30 cm distance after shutdown at specified cooling intervals were calculated with the FISPACT-II code, employing the EAF-2010 nuclear and TENDL-2021 data libraries. The Monte Carlo MCNP6.2 particle transport code equipped with the FENDL-3.1d nuclear data library was used for the calculation of the neutron flux densities. |
