A nuclear power reactor delivering 1GW of electric power to the network would generate 1.3e21 neutrons per second. This flux will destroy any conventional iron in less than a year. For this reason, a programm for material testing under heavy neutron flux has been launched. The programm, called IFMIF, aims to the development of fast neutron generation facility. | A nuclear power reactor delivering 1GW of electric power to the network would generate 1.3e21 neutrons per second.
