Between February and May 1998 the first ever remote handling campaign on a Nuclear Fusion machine was completed at the JET Joint Undertaking in Culham UK.
This 4 month campaign was followed by 6 more campaigns up to and including 2010 with durations varying from 3-18 months and requiring a total of more than 22,000 hours of remote operation.
Preparations for the first remote handling...

Contributed Focus Session Oral Presentation
The first wall of a fusion power reactor is subjected to an intense flux of 14 MeV neutrons causing a damage of up to 200 dpa and a high He concentration in a ratio of 10 appm/dpa. Since the onset of fusion reactor designs, a dedicated irradiation facility is considered to be indispensable for the development and qualification of materials. As are result design studies and irradiation...

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is the most promising machine designed for testing candidate structural materials for fusion nuclear power reactors up to a damage rate of 100 dpa in five years. Materials are tested by using a high-energy neutron flux produced by a stripping reaction of two D+ beams impinging on a free surface liquid lithium jet flowing in a...

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a new national user facility for nuclear science, funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) Office of Nuclear Physics and operated by Michigan State University (MSU), East Lansing, USA. FRIB will provide intense beams of rare isotopes that are produced by the interaction between a heavy ion beam and a rotating carbon target. ...

Target Facility Challenges
Contributed Focus Session Oral Presentation
To meet the needs of the NOvA experiment at higher beam power (700kW), the NuMI target facility had to be reconfigured from the low energy to the medium energy neutrino configuration. One of the main requirements was relocating NuMI Horn 2 nine meters downstream of its existing position. This involved significant reconfiguration of the existing steel shielding and the overall target-hall...
