Fission Target Design

Abstract

The report describes the technical concepts and the main parameters adopted for the first design for the fission target of the multi-MW Target Station of EURISOL. Starting from the dimensions of liquid neutron converter as defined by Baseline Design, eight fission target containers were disposed around the converter and closely coupled to eight ion-sources. Two versions of design are presented , proposing different solutions at all levels: target geometry, heating resistance, thermal expansion compensation, supporting in the view of remote handling, type of ion source, current and high voltage powering scheme, cooling and others. At this stage of design many details are skipped, while the dimensions of different components are not yet the result of mechanical/electrical/thermal calculations
