Samenvatting:
Within the framework of the European Fusion Technology Programme, NRGPetten is investigating the irradiation behaviour of structural materials for
advanced next-step fusion devices. The irradiation of specimen holder R301-02
(MINOSSE) in the HFR Petten, loaded with sixteen coupon plates (thickness
1-2.5 mm) and twenty reduced size CT-specimens (thickness 2.5 mm)
manufactured from two types of ferritic/martensitic steel alloys, is part of
this programme. The R301-02 assembly was irradiated in the channels 1 and 2
of TRIO type facilities for sixteen HFR operation cycles, subsequently in the
core-positions C3 and C7 (last four cycles), up to a target dose level of 10
displacements per atom (dpa) in steel at a nominal target temperature of 300
deg C. This report presents the final metrology results obtained from
activation monitor sets placed inside the specimen holder, including the
thermal and fast neutron fluences, displacements per atom and the generated
helium content. Additionally detailed information concerning an estimation of
the fluence and damage doses received by each specimen and its temperature
during irradiation are presented. The main results of the thermal and fast
neutron fluence measurements, indicate that the obtained damage levels in the
steel specimens loaded in this specimen holder vary from 6.3 and 10.5 dpa.
The median temperatures of the specimen during the irradiation ranged mainly
between 276 and 310 deg C. Especially the upper specimen temperatures reached
the target temperature for the specimen holder. Detailed data are presented
in the tables 3, 4 and 5, as well as in figure 2. 16 refs.
