Study of degradation of materials by radiation damage in Nuclear Fusion Reactors.

Abstract

This research discusses the critical challenge of materials in the context of nuclear fusion reactors, with focus on mitigating radiation damage and enhancing overall reactor performance. Investigating the complex interaction between high-energy neutrons and structural materials, the study aims to identify extreme radiation conditions faced by the materials. By integrating studies of materials science, including nanomaterials and advanced alloys, the research seeks to discuss the resilience and longevity of critical reactor components under these conditions. The paper also took previous studies done by the IFMIF for better results. The outcomes of this study not only introduce the challenges associated  with radiation damage but also towards the contribution of fusion energy technology.
