Using high resolution neutron spectroscopy along both tangential and perpendicular lines-of-sight, CNES provides direct experimental access to deuterium–deuterium (D–D) reaction dynamics in velocity space, reflecting the behavior of fast ions injected by neutral beam injections. Significant Doppler shifts in D-D neutron energy were observed during intense tangential neutral beam injection, revealing the impact of the relative motion of the D-D reaction center-of-mass (CoM) with respect to the CNES sightline. An upshift in neutron energy was detected when the CoM moved toward the sightline, while a downshift occurred when it move away from the sighline. In plasmas heated by perpendicular neutral beam injection, a distinct double-humped neutron energy spectrum was observed, corresponding to the Larmor motion of helically trapped beam ions within the LHD’s magnetic ripple structure. The results demonstrate the capability of CNES to detect Doppler shifts in neutron energy associated with the direction and confinement of fast ions. By comparing experimental results with numerical simulations, the study confirms the reliability of both tangential and perpendicular CNESs sightline configuration in D-D neutron emission spectroscopy in LHD.

Still, during transport from the breeding blanket towards the extraction system, a fraction of tritium permeates through the piping and containment walls, and it might escape into the outer environment. To reduce the amount of permeated tritium in the coolant, the obvious solution is coating of the tritium exposed surfaces with anti-permeation barriers. Stainless steels and EUROFER97 are the main materials for DEMO systems construction. While EUROFER97 is a reduced activation martensitic steel specially designed for the construction of fusion reactor blankets which will be exposed to neutron irradiation, stainless steels like 316(L) are used for constructing the other components and systems. Hydrogen isotopes in various gas mixtures are permanently circulated through the reactor systems as they are the fuel which drive it. This paper is a detailed analysis of different technologies and materials conceived for creating efficient barriers against hydrogen permeation through stainless steel and EUROFER97. This literature review presents some investigation of important aspects regarding the development of stable hydrogen permeation barriers in order to prevent adsorption in structural materials and permeation of hydrogen isotopes. These barriers will help avoid the corrosion and embrittlement effects, and also, they will prevent the migration of tritium towards other systems and environment which poses radiation protection issues.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":634,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fusion Energy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10894-026-00560-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147340029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
