Abstract :
As an R&D task of the ITER engineering design activities (EDA), we carried out the irradiation tests on the basic materials of transmission components such as ceramics, windows, fiber optics and mirrors, and in-vessel diagnostics sensors such as magnetic probes and bolometers. Ceramics will be used as general insulating materials. Here we investigated the radiation induced conductivity (RIC) of ceramics for 14 MeV neutrons. Optical elements are the most sensitive to radiation damages among the transmission components. Radiation induce transmission loss of window materials and fiber optics have been measured in the Japan material testing reactor (JMTR). Off line irradiation tests were carried out for molybdenum corner cube reflector (CCR) and gold coated mirrors in JMTR also. Fourteen MeV-neutron-induce luminescence of window material was evaluated in the fusion neutronics source (FNS). Bolometers should be installed inside the vacuum vessel to measure the radiation losses in the infra red to soft X-ray range. We demonstrated the performance of the JT 60 type bolometer under 60Co gamma-rays.
