Abstract

The paper summarizes the current status of neutronics at ITER and a first set of proposals for experimental programmes to be conducted in the early operational life-time of ITER are described for the more crucial areas. These include a TF coils heating benchmark, a streaming benchmark and streaming measurements by activation on ITER itself. Also on ITER the measurement of activated water from triton burn-up should be planned and performed. This will require the measurement of triton burn-up in DD phase. Measurements of neutron flux in the tokamak building during DD operations should also be carried out. The use of JET for verification of shut down dose rate estimates is desirable. Other facilities to examine the production and behaviour of activated corrosion products and the shielding properties of concretes to high energy (6 MeV) gamma-rays are recommended.
