Radioactive waste assessment for the IFMIF/EVEDA facility

During the IFMIF/EVEDA phase, a 125 mA and 9 MeV deuterons prototype accelerator will be designed and tested for the final IFMIF project. During operation of the accelerator deuteron losses will occur in several components leading to material activation induced by deuteron and/or by secondary neutrons, depending on its location. This work is focused on a first radioactive waste assessment at the end of the operational life of this facility. The radioactive wastes generation will be evaluated, focusing on the beam dump and main accelerator components. Following the current approach to the back-end of the activated materials, they will be categorized according to radiological complexity of operations and final management routes. For the calculations, MCUNED and ACAB codes were used together with TENDL-2010 and EAF-2007 data libraries, respectively.
