What are the issues facing the use of vanadium alloy and silicon carbide inside a fusion device, and how can these materials be optimized? Further, what other materials could be considered that have low neutron activation, neutron damage and embrittlement.
Stellarex is a nuclear fusion energy development company. We have materials issues related to the interaction of the thermonuclear plasma with the material inside wall of the reactor. The wall is subjected to 14 MeV neutrons and a flux of energetic ions with a broad energy spectrum. Our concerns for the materials of the wall include neutron damage, neutron activation and embrittlement from the hydrogen isotopes in the plasma. We are interested in innovative wall materials such as vanadium alloy and silicon carbide, but are concerned about the above issues. These materials have low levels of neutron activation.
