Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the advancements in the Target System design of the IFMIF-DONES Project which simulates the effects of the extreme neutron irradiation conditions expected in the future fusion power reactors. The system’s role in generating a high-intensity neutron source for testing candidate materials to be used in the reactor is highlighted. The discussion includes design innovations, recent developments, challenges, and future prospects, emphasizing critical aspects and validation needs for the Target System.
