Abstract

Recently it has been proposed to use the 14-MeV neutrons produced in the muon-catalyzed dt fusion reaction for the thermonuclear reactors “first wall” materials testing. The results of the Monte Carlo computations of some of the most interesting conceptual schemes of such a source are presented. It was shown that a neutron flux of about 1014 n/cm2 s, can be achieved in the case of a scheme based on a mirror trap with strong magnetic fields, as proposed in this work.
