PROSPECT FOR STUDY OF RADIATION-DAMAGE AT RADEX-15, RADIATION EXPERIMENT FACILITY, BASED ON THE BEAM STOP OF MOSCOW MESON FACTORY

The Moscow Meson Factory (MMF) of the INR RAS supplies a unique possib ility for studying radiation behaviour of structural materials for the rmonuclear fusion reactors in intense fluxes of primary and secondary protons and spallation neutrons. The first stage of MMF working at ene rgy 400 MeV and proton current up to 70 mu A is now available for simu lations of radiation damage in nuclear materials. Experiments can be c arried out in conditions close to that of fusion facilities at the bea m stop at the experimental area of the MMF INR RAS. The calculated val ue of the equivalent neutron flux averaged over the volume of 300 cm(3 ) is equal to 10(15) n/cm(2)s at the total projected proton current of 1 mA. Some experimental, theoretical and calculational activities are proposed on the basis of RADEX-15 cryogenic facility at the MMF beam stop.
