NEUTRON RADIATION DAMAGE IN CCD CAMERAS AT JOINT EUROPEAN TORUS (JET)

Radiat Prot Dosimetry. 2018 Aug 1;180(1-4):109-114. doi: 10.1093/rpd/ncx220.

Abstract

The neutron and gamma radiations in large fusion reactors are responsible for damage to charged couple device (CCD) cameras deployed for applied diagnostics. Based on the ASTM guide E722-09, the 'equivalent 1 MeV neutron fluence in silicon' was calculated for a set of CCD cameras at the Joint European Torus. Such evaluations would be useful to good practice in the operation of the video systems.
