Abstract

The levels of induced activity in samples of ITER materials and dosimetry foils to be irradiated during the planned JET campaign with deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasma were predicted. Calculations were performed for the neutron energy spectrum of the JET internal Long Term Irradiation Station (LTIS). The European Activation System (EASY-II) and the EAF-2010 nuclear data library were used in order to estimate specific activity and dose rates as a function of time after the end of irradiation. The results of the study provide important data for comparison against activation measurements and support the planning of the irradiation, measurement and radiation protection procedures to be implemented in the planned JET activation experiment.
