OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

A simplified model for the calculation of heavy ion ranges on IFE target materials with temperature and density gradients is presented. Such model allows for the calculation of rough estimates of the range for a variety of ablator states. The model assumes ion populations in thermal equilibrium, equilibrium charge state, and neglects any recombination effects. Dependence of all relevant parameters with temperature is determined, and a shortening of the range is observed as target temperature is increased.
