“…At the date of the work, mid 2009, SIN-BAD contained 29 benchmarks relative to fusion neutronics. Among these, the FNG ITER bulk shield experiment [13] has been chosen to test TRIPOLI-4 for fusion blankets shielding simulations because it is one of the more realist fusion reactor blankets benchmark. Moreover, it contained detailed numerical MCNP input and results applied to various materials and reaction rates, which satisfies the objective of focusing on numerical benchmarks.…”

“…The first integral experiment considered here is the Bulk Shield Experiment, consisting in a mockup of the ITER shielding blanket/vacuum vessel (simulated by alternating layers of stainless steel, AISI-316-type, (SS316) and Perspex material to simulate water) followed by the superconducting magnet region (simulated by alternating layers of SS316 and copper) [4]. The neutron and gamma ray flux were measured as a function of depth in the shielding blanket/vessel, and the nuclear heating was measured all along the mock-up depth and in the magnet region.…”

Abstract. Nuclear design for ITER having an impact on components, equipment, and materials, must conform to established requirements, and must be fully traceable to valid data, and capable of withstanding detailed technical reviews. According to the Management and Quality Program that is being established in the ITER project, nuclear data used for neutronic calculations must be verified and validated prior to use in ITER design. Extensive work of validation and verification FENDL-1 and FENDL-2.0 libraries for neutronic calculations was performed during the ITER R&D activities through ad hoc benchmark experiments performed on mock-ups of ITER components at 14 MeV neutron generators. In particular, this paper presents the validation of the latest version FENDL-2.1 using the existing benchmark experiments carried out at the FNG 14 MeV neutron generator at ENEA Frascati.

The nuclear design of fusion devices is based on neutronics calculations. The neutron and photon flux spectra are calculated with 3D neutron-photon transport codes, and the nuclear responses are obtained by convolution with the related nuclear data. These computational tools and data need to be validated through mock-up and benchmark experiments. Typical experiments, carried out in the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme, are discussed, in particular a bulk shield experiment on a mock-up of the inboard shield of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), benchmarks of the transport and of the activation data of tungsten and measurements on a neutronics mock-up of a test blanket module for ITER.
