Abstract[English]
Main characteristic of the invention is the exploitation of the very large flux of high energy neutrons generated in a nuclear fusion tokamak with beam-driven plasma for the purpose of producing radioisotopes. It specifically relates to the deployment of precursor materials into the core of a nuclear fusion tokamak with beam-driven plasma for the purpose of exposing these materials to the neutron flux generated in the plasma by the process of nuclear fusion of Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T) to generate radioactive isotopes, so-called radioisotopes. The precursor materials contained in metallic capsules are incorporated into the blankets that surround the plasma.[French]
La principale caractéristique de l'invention réside dans l'exploitation du flux très important de neutrons à haute énergie générés dans un tokamak à fusion nucléaire à plasma piloté par faisceau dans le but de produire des radio-isotopes. L'invention concerne plus précisément le déploiement de matériaux précurseurs dans le cœur d'un tokamak à fusion nucléaire avec plasma piloté par faisceau, dans le but d'exposer ces matériaux au flux de neutrons généré dans le plasma par le processus de fusion nucléaire du deutérium (D) et du tritium (T) afin de produire des isotopes radioactifs, appelés radio-isotopes. Les matériaux précurseurs contenus dans des capsules métalliques sont intégrés dans les couvertures qui entourent le plasma.
