Abstract
In order to improve the quality of deuteron-induced activation data required for the safety design of the IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility), we have measured (1) the activation cross-section of natLi(d,x)7Be in the deuteron-energy range from 7 to 39MeV and (2) the production rates of radioactive nuclides in thick targets for natLi(d,x)7Be, natC(d,x)7Be, and 27Al(d,x)7Be, 22Na, 24Na reactions at 40MeV using the AVF cyclotron of Tohoku University. We have also estimated the production rates of these nuclides in the thick targets below 40MeV using the cross-sections obtained in this study.The present data compared favorably with other experimental data, IAEA-recommended data, and the data obtained using the recent nuclear reaction code TALYS and the activation code IRACM, which is based on the ALICE-F code. Some calculation results showed marked disagreement with the experimental data.
