Long Term Neutron Activation in JET DD Operation

In the 2019 C38 Deuterium-Deuterium campaign at JET several different ITER-relevant materials and dosimetry foils were irradiated in a specially designed long-term irradiation station located inside the vacuum vessel with the purpose of testing the activation of ITER materials by fusion neutrons.
