Abstract

To provide structural material design data for the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APL) project, a 1 mA, 800 MeV proton beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) was used to irradiate a large number of metal samples, including a tungsten target similar to that being considered as the neutron source for the tritium production. The maximum proton fluence to the tungsten target was approximately 10²¹ protons/cm². An unavoidable byproduct of spallation reactions is the formation of large amounts of hydrogen and helium.
