The IFMIF-DONES accelerator cavities require around 5.7 MW of continuous RF power at 175 MHz to deliver a 125 mA and 40 MeV deuteron beam at the lithium target. The IFMIF-DONES RF System is composed of 56 RF Stations able to provide up to 200 kW RF power at 175 MHz in CW, ...
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility鈥擠EMO Oriented Neutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) will be the neutron source that can provide conditions such as anticipated for DEMO. This is achieved by utilizing Li(d,xn) nuclear reactions taking place in a liquid Li target when bombarded by a...
Fig. 1. CAD model of the IFMIF-DONES accelerator rooms and nearby spaces. During accelerator operation, interactions of deuterons with components along the beamline, primarily composed of stainless steel, copper, or aluminum, occur due to deuterons exiting the beam or colliding with components design...

The Impurity Control System (ICS) of IFMIF-DONES is devoted to assuring lithium purity. After its circulation through the target, some undesired products will contaminate the lithium: deuterium, hydrogen, tritium, and beryllium. In addition, due to the high velocity of the flowing lithium, the ...
DONES facility is being developed within the EUROfusion workpackage WPENS (Work Package Early Neutron Source), which main objective is to be ready for IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility)-DONES construction as soon as 2020. Fourteen Research Units (RU) around Europe, as well...
IFMIF-DONES is a powerful neutron irradiation facility for the study and qualification of materials planned as part of the European roadmap to fusion-generated electricity. Its main goal is to study properties of materials under severe irradiation in a neutron field similar to the one in a fusion...
The DONES (DEMO oriented neutron source) has been conceived as a simplified IFMIF-like plant to provide earlier availability, on a reduced time scale and with a reduced budget—both compared to IFMIF—of basic information on materials damage. The conceptual design of the DONES will consist of ...
The test cell (TC) serves as irradiation chamber in the IFMIF-DONES facility, which aims to irradiate material samples with a highly energetic deuterium-lithium based neutron source to contribute to the development of candidate materials to be used in the first wall components of future fusion ...
International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-DEMOnstration Power Station (DEMO)-Oriented Neutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is an accelerator-based d-Li neutron source that is aimed at the qualification of materials at the irradiation conditions of a DEMO fusion power reactor. It is being developed ...
