The meetings have addressed the detection of improvement areas and optimization of solutions proposed in the design of the DONES facility During the months of November and December, three meetings were held at CIEMAT in which the design of the DONES (DEMO Oriented Neutron Source) facility was addressed by external panels of international renowned experts. […]
The meeting addressed the general lines of operation for the working group to analyse the facility’s licensing strategy The first meeting of the liaison committee and representatives of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility – Demo Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) project was held at the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) last November 28. The creation […]
The meeting presented the advances in the design of the systems of the future IFMIF-DONES facility On November 19th, 20th and 21st of 2019, the 8th Technical Meeting of the WPENS-DONES Project (Work Package Early Neutron Source-Demo Oriented Neutron Source) took place at the ENEA Agency (Agenzia Nazionale per le Nuove Tecnologie, L’Energia e lo […]
It will be the first time that this international conference is held in Spain Every two years, the International Conference on Fusion Reactor Materials (ICFRM) brings together the leading scientists and technologists in this field. The nineteenth edition of this conference was held in La Jolla, San Diego (California, USA) from October 27 to November […]
The DONES Preparatory Phase, with a €4 million budget from the EuropeanCommission, will address financial, legal and organisational aspectsfor the construction of the IFMIF-DONES infrastructure in Escuzar The DONES Preparatory Phase (DONES-PreP), with a total budget of €4 million from the European Commission, celebrated last 10th of October its kick-off meeting and first General Assembly […]
The aim of LIPAc is to validate the engineering design of a future DONES neutron source that will soon be built in Granada Last June, a deuteron accelerator, designed and operated under an international framework reached a 125-mA current. This is the highest intensity reached by a linear accelerator. The device is LIPAc (Linear IFMIF […]
The event also allows to identify the areas for a possible Polish contribution On September 17, an Infoday, organized by CERN and Wroclawski Park Technologiczny SA, was held at the Zielna center in Warsaw (Poland). This initiative consists of a meeting with companies, research centres and other institutions related to the Polish energy and technology […]
Spain and Croatia flagged their interest to host DONES. Consequently, a technical group of experts was put together to visit the sites proposed by the two countries, evaluate their compliance with the technical requirements and communicate the findings in a report. In order to prepare the ground for future fusion reactors beyond ITER, Europe and […]
