Availability of D-T fusion neutrons at TFTR has offered an opportunity to conduct measurements of both short-lived and long-lived radioactivity of direct interest to ITER and DEMO reactors in a realistic tokamak fusion reactor environment. Materials irradiated, spatial locations, and certain features of activation chareacteristics at TFTR are described.
