Abstract
Studies on energy production based on approaches based on nuclear fusion reactions that do not produce neutron emissions have recently gained momentum. In this study, the interactions between the particles emitted from the neutron-free fusion (or aneutronic fusion) reactions of 3He(d, p)4He, 6Li(d, α)4He, 6Li(p, α)3He and 11B(p, 2α)4He and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were modeled with SRIM, FLUKA and GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation codes. Damage and penetrability parameters obtained from the simulations were evaluated. Evaluations were made on the most suitable aneutronic reaction for this alloy. It is thought that important outcomes have been obtained regarding fusion reactor structure and engineering.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Fusion Energy features original research contributions and review papers examining and the development and enhancing the knowledge base of thermonuclear fusion as a potential power source. It is designed to serve as a journal of record for the publication of original research results in fundamental and applied physics, applied science and technological development. The journal publishes qualified papers based on peer reviews.
This journal also provides a forum for discussing broader policies and strategies that have played, and will continue to play, a crucial role in fusion programs. In keeping with this theme, readers will find articles covering an array of important matters concerning strategy and program direction.
