Moderation of high-energy fast neutrons in beryllium from a tokamak fusion reactor and heat transfer to the cooling water system

A modeling demonstration of the moderation of 14.1 MeV primary neutrons in beryllium emitted from a D-T fusion nuclear reaction. The energy deposited from neutron-beryllium interactions which produces heat in the blanket of a fusion tokamak. A review of literature and data available for neutron-bery...
