The mission of IFMIF is to provide an accelerator-based, D-Li neutron source to produce high energy neutrons at sufficient intensity and irradiation volume to test samples of candidate materials up to about a full lifetime of anticipated use in fusion energy reactors.
The “Key Element Technology Phase” (KEP) was initiated in 2000 with the objective of reducing some key technology risk factors. The risks were identified as those needed to achieve a CW deuterium beam with the desired current in the accelerators, to verify relevant component designs on a laboratory scale both in the lithium target system and test cell system, and to validate design codes.
