Engineering problems in designing neutron source based on gas-dynamic trap concept

Abstract In this paper some results of technical proposal development for a 14 MeV energy neutron source based on a gas-dynamic trap concept are presented. The structural scheme and the dimensions of experimental areas, intended mainly for irradiation of the testing material samples and structural components of a fusion reactor, are given. Ensuring the required service life of equipment is one of the main engineering problems of the neutron source creation.
