NEA irradiation system ready to deploy at MITR
A new irradiation experimental system is ready for deployment. The rig, which is the focus of In-Core Real-Time Mechanical Testing of Structural Materials (INCREASE-I), an OECD Nuclear Energy Agency project, will be used to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR), according to the OECD NEA.

So as to demonstrate the superconducting magnet technology to be developed for construction of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), model coils were designed and are now being fabricated. For testing of these model coils, a world's largest test facility for superconducting magnets was constructed and its test operations were successfully done. This paper describes the test program of the model coils and performance test results of the test facility to achieve the goals of the test program.
