Of course, exact reactor conditions are only reproduced inside an actual reactor. Even so, it is possible to simulate the effects of neutrons and gamma radiation on materials by irradiating with ions and electrons. The effect of neutron radiation will be simulated by combining three ion accelerators: one light ion accelerator of the tandem type for irradiating with He, with an energy of 6 MV, one light ion accelerator of the tandem type for irradiating with H (or D), with an energy of 5-6 MV, and a heavy ion accelerator of the cyclotron type, with k = 110, to implant heavy ions (Fe, W, Si, C) or high energy protons. In addition, a high field magnet (5-10 T) will be used to study the simultaneous effect of irradiation and magnetic fields on materials. The effect of ionizing gamma radiation will be simulated by an electron accelerator of the Rhodotron type with a fixed energy of 10 MeV, which will be shared with other areas of the Centre.
