Abstract

The third accelerator of the multi-ion irradiation platform JANNUS (Joint Accelerators for Nanosciences and NUclear Simulation), a 6SDH-2 Pelletron from National Electrostatic Corporation, Middleton was installed at Saclay in October 2009. The first triple beam irradiation combining Fe, He and H ion beams has been performed in March 2010 on a Fe-12Cr model ODS alloy. In the first part of this paper, we give a technical description of the triple beam facility. Then, we present its performances and experimental capabilities. Typically, damage dose up to 100 dpa can be reached in 10 hours irradiation with heavy ion beams, with or without simultaneous bombardment by protons, helium-4 ions or any other heavy ion beam. In the second part of this paper, we illustrate some recent experiments relative to advanced nuclear ceramics and composite materials developed in the frame of the Generation IV Forum research program or for fusion applications.
