Abstract:Molybdenum is being considered as a potential material for future nuclear fusion experiments and power plants. It has good thermo-mechanical properties and can be easily fabricated, making it attractive as an alternative first wall material to tungsten, which is the current leading candidate. Unfortunately, according to simulations, fusion-neutron irradiated Mo may become too activated during reactor operation to maintain the objective of fusion of avoiding the generation of long-term, higher-level radioactive… Show more
