Scientists of Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich have developed an innovative actuator concept offering double-acting linear movement without friction and without lubrication. This technology is particularly suitable for use in extreme environments and has been implemented as a linear motor for a shutter and as a linear drive for a sensor in an ITER experiment. The linear drive can be used as a servomotor for an orifice plate \/ shutter release or as drive mechanism for a sensor movement and could be suitable for use with different fluids, i.e. gases or even liquids in many industrial applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

The National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (CNRD) has developed specific facilities and methodology for the radiological characterization of nuclear materials! Indeed, nuclear fusion research requires the investigation of the radiological properties of ITER material samples after neutron irradiation, the validation of neutron streaming and material activation calculations at positions close and far from the plasma source and finally the development of a new  activation detector for neutron fluence measurements and spectrum evaluation in the breeding blanket of future fusion power plants. Radiation measurements of materials, in conjunction to radiation transport simulations, are available at their lab for use in nuclear, environmental, industrial and medical applications, where accurate non-destructive measurements of radioactivity in samples of up to several liters in volume are required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ionizing and not-ionizing radiation for studies on materials and devices<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Operated at ENEA-Centro Ricerche Frascati for inertial fusion research, ABC laser provides the most energetic laser pulse in Italy. It can deliver two infrared laser beams that, when interact with suitable targets generate intense ionizing and non-ionizing radiations. These can be used to study the response of specific materials and devices to pressures, electromagnetic and particle radiation stresses produced by the interaction, that become as a point-like compact intense radiation source, unavailable with other methods. The fields of application mainly regard nuclear fusion, particle acceleration, space applications, material science, radiation hardness of devices and materials, medical and biological studies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Investigating radiation damage in materials using ion beam<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Considering the evolution of microstructures and material properties under extreme radiation conditions, the JANNuS facility has been developed at University Paris-Saclay that allow multi-scale modelling of radiation effects in materials with in situ observations of microstructure modifications. The versatility of conditions in terms of particle energy, dose rate, fluence, etc., is a key asset of ion beams allowing fully instrumented analytical studies. Coupling of two or more beams, use of heated\/cooled sample holders, and implementation of in situ characterization and microscopy pave the way to real time observation of microstructural and property evolution in various extreme radiation conditions more closely mimicking the nuclearenvironments.
Many promising applications in electronics, space, geologyare considered.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The test sensitivity of classic sniffer test methods  is  limited  by  the  helium  concentration  in  the  air,  but  by  reducing  the  atmospheric helium concentration the test sensitivity can be significantly improved. The Ultra Sniffer Test gas (UST) method is simple \u2013 there is no evacuation of the test chamber, only a filling with helium free gas. The method has successfully been used for testing super conducting coils for Wendelstein 7-\u00ad\u2010X at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald. The technology is ready for use in the non-\u00ad\u2010fusion domain  and  is  currently  being  commercialized  by  the  inventor,  Mr.  Robert  Brockmann.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

MANTIS is a multispectral imagining system, based on a new diagnostic technique recently developed in a collaboration between MIT-PSFC, EPFL, and DIFFER and used to monitor the discharges in the fusion experiment (TCV\u2019s system and MAST-U). The MANTIS system collects light through a single window in the tokamak and feeds it to ten cameras that each look at a very narrow wavelength band. MANTIS can analyse density, temperature and the presence of impurities in real time with accuracy. Outside fusion applications, Tthis technology makes it possible to detect also medical impurities in the human body (as cancer) or impurities in materials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The technology innovation is a new electrical potential separator for cryotechnics. It is applicable particularly to electrically isolating areas, in which different potentials occur. The device consists of a dielectric tube e.g. made of polyimide, which still isolates when subjected to low temperatures as a result of its material properties. An annular groove is located on the exterior of both end areas of the tube, in which a support ring is inlaid. Electrodes are applied to the tube such that they cannot be removed. The electrodes themselves are detachably connected to flanges that are pulled onto the face of the tube to seal the device. The technology is ready for use in the non\u2010fusion domain and was patented by the inventors Stefan Fink and G\u00fcnter Friesinger<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A leading European nuclear fusion institute has developed a thin silicon strip detector for 10\u20101000 keV ions. The detector consists of an active silicon layer (5 \u00b5m thick for low\u2010energy ions, or 25 \u00b5m thick for detection of high-\u00ad\u2010energy ions) bonded to a silicon support (~300 \u00b5m thick). Unlike previous ion detectors, the thin silicon strip detector exhibits high background\u2010to\u00ad\u2010signal separation and good radiation tolerance, so is effective in high gamma, neutron, or photon backgrounds. The detector works by converting ion energy directly to charge in the silicon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
