Description
Ion accelerator facility is a powerful tool to simulate neutron irradiation effects in reactor materials. Defects in the crystal lattice arise and the accumulation of transmutation products (helium and hydrogen) occurs in the structure of the material under the action of neutrons in the structural materials of nuclear installations. At Kurchatov Complex for Theoretical and Experimental Physics the heavy ion accelerator HIPr (Heavy Ion Prototype) is used to simulate radiation damage in steels and alloys using a 5.6 MeV Fe2+ ion beam. The second beam line is designed at the HIPr facility to simultaneously implant helium (or hydrogen) into the region of defects. The second beam line provides a beam of helium ions with energy up to 300 keV. The report presents a description of second beam line design and a status of construction the second beam line.
