- Nuclear Engineering
- Plasma Physics
Background:
- The neutron activation system (NAS) is essential for measuring neutron fluence and flux in ITER, enabling fusion power evaluation.
- The pneumatic transfer system (PTS) is a critical component of the NAS, responsible for sample transport.
Purpose of the Study:
- To validate and optimize the design of the PTS for the ITER NAS.
- To develop and test a prototype PTS.
Main Methods:
- Development of a prototype pneumatic transfer system.
- Conducting capsule transfer tests using the developed prototype.
Main Results:
- Successful development of a functional PTS prototype.
- Demonstration of capsule transfer capabilities within the system.
Conclusions:
- The developed PTS prototype is suitable for validation and optimization.
- The tested system is a key component for the reliable operation of the ITER NAS.
