Abstract

Materials with sufficient dimensional stability and resistance to neutron degradation of thermal-mechanical and physical properties are essential requirements for fusion energy systems. In recognition of the need to develop and test these materials, the U.S. fusion community initiated discussions in 2018 on a Fusion Prototypic Neutron Source (FPNS) and the performance requirements and timelines for such a neutron source. This section presents a status of the process in context with other important activities that have occurred during that timeframe. The FPNS requirements have evolved over time as the focus of an FPNS has shifted from fusion materials science to materials development. The current U.S. FPNS requirements are presented, as well as the timing requested by the public and private fusion ventures to support their system development.
