Materials investigations for the target of the german spallation neutron source and their relations to fusion reactor materials research

Materials problems of heavily loaded components of the German spallation neutron source are similar to those of a fusion reactor in terms of He- and H-embrittlement, high-cycle thermal fatigue under irradiation, swelling and irradiation creep. This is illustrated by two examples from current and pla...

Summary:Materials problems of heavily loaded components of the German spallation neutron source are similar to those of a fusion reactor in terms of He- and H-embrittlement, high-cycle thermal fatigue under irradiation, swelling and irradiation creep. This is illustrated by two examples from current and planned investigations for the target element cladding and a stationary proton beam window.
