Abstract IFMIF-DONES is a powerful neutron irradiation facility for the study and qualification of materials planned as part European roadmap to fusion-generated electricity. Its main goal properties under severe in field similar one fusion reactor first wall. It key prepare construction DEMO power plant envisaged follow ITER. The decision start expected imminent. In this paper we present discuss several technical studies decisions improve optimize engineering design which were carried out...
Abstract International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-DEMO-Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is a high-intensity neutron irradiation facility for qualification of fusion reactor materials, which being designed as part the European roadmap to fusion-generated electricity. Its main purpose study behavior materials properties under in flux able simulate same effects terms relevant nuclear responses those expected first wall DEMO envisaged follow ITER. It thus key support design,...
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), presently in its Engineering Validation and Design Activities (EVEDA) phase under the frame of Broader Approach Agreement between Europe Japan, accomplished summer 2013, on schedule, EDA with release engineering design report IFMIF plant, which is here described. Many improvements from former phases are implemented, particularly a reduction beam losses operational costs thanks to superconducting accelerator concept, re-location...
Abstract Cropping systems that fail to manage N and irrigation, with the objective of reducing losses N, are frequently associated elevated concentrations nitrate in soil ground water. A long‐term (4‐yr) field experiment was carried out at La Poveda Field Station (30 km southeast Madrid, Spain) assessing whether effect traditional cultivation practices (irrigation fertilization) can be reduced. The conducted on a Typic Xerofluvent crop sequence (corn‐wheat‐corn‐oat) area. Four fertilizer...
Abstract Partitioning temporal changes in soil water storage to balance components (evapotranspiration [ET], drainage) under field conditions remains a vexing task. An situ protocol using neutron probes and tensiometers was established on sandy loam (Typic Xerofluvent) irrigated, conventional corn ( Zea mays L.) with the objectives separate ET from deep drainage improve accuracy of estimating components. experimental research site (0.4 ha) at La Poveda Field Station near Madrid (Spain)...
Traditional irrigation management in some semiarid zones waste water relative to crop evapotranspiration requirements. Improved schedules (irrigation depths were adjusted seasonal consumption), however, may reduce deep percolation and fail provide adequate leaching of salts. We hypothesized that salt discharge induced by rainfall partially offset the need for a larger fraction from water. The experiment was conducted near Madrid, Spain, on sandy loam Typic Xerofluvent, between February 1993...
Traditional irrigation schedules used by farmers in central Spain may result overirrigation and deep percolation. The objective of this research was to test whether an improved schedule based on restoring field capacity the 0‐ 0.5‐m soil layer could save water reduce drainage (D) without impairing grain yield. A 4‐yr experiment conducted near Madrid, Spain. neutron probe tensiometers were measure storage flux a sandy‐loam (Typic Xerofluvent) with corn ( Zea mays L.)–wheat Triticum aestivum...
Abstract Leaching of salts under field conditions may be addressed through a combination the soil water balance and drainage concentration in profile. A experiment was conducted 1991 growing season on Typic Xerofluvent planted to corn ( Zea mays L.) assess leaching pattern Ca 2+ , Mg Na + K Cl SO 2− 4 CO 3 H − NO conventional cropping. River well irrigation were used with salinities 680 1580 mg L −1 respectively. Sampling solution throughout done for profile layers using permanent...
Summary Implantation was performed on surface‐polished and thermal‐treated alumina discs with 75 keV monocharged carbon ions at doses of 1 × 10 17 5 cm −2 . The targets were kept room temperature. structural modifications induced during ion irradiation studied by the scanning transmission electron microscopes. Alumina is readily amorphized temperature ions. width ion‐beam disordered area increases dose. As it established selected diffraction energy loss spectra, low implanted specimens still...
