Abstract

Since the 1950 s, with the development of fusion systems, many fusion neutron source facilities have been built around the world. A series of experiments have been performed to support the development of fusion systems with these facilities that aim to validate the reliability of neutronics design, the precision of nuclear data and the correctness of computational methods and tools [1]. In this chapter, a general introduction of fusion neutronics experiments is first presented. Then, certain typical experiments such as activation experiments, tritium breeding experiments, irradiation experiments, and shielding experiments are introduced. Last, the prospects for the development of fusion neutronics experiments are discussed.
