- Radioactivity - Neutrons activate material, making it radioactive leading to handling and waste storage requirements.
- Hazardous - Neutrons are Hazardous to health and shielded will be needed to protect the workforce.
- Produce fuel - Neutrons will be needed to convert lithium into tritium to fuel the reactor.
- Electricity - 80% of the energy release by each DT reaction is transferred to the neutron.
- Structural integrity - Neutrons cause damage to materials such as embrittlement, swelling, change conductivity …
- Diagnose - Neutrons are an important method of measuring a variety of plasma parameters (e.g. Q value).
- Nuclear data
- Prompt responses
- Delayed responses
- Simulation approaches
