Descripción
IFMIF-DONES will be a world leading, high flux, neutron source facility and it's main application will be to model the material damage for a DEMO-type reactor. Further to this the facility has the potential to produce important medical isotopes.
When a facility has be finalised, a key problem is how to identify what medical isotopes, for available targets, can be produced.
Transmutation, which produces medical isotopes, can be represented as graphically, showing the pathways to production.
Instead of randomly sampling the space of targets to identify which nuclei can be produced, we propose a truncated graph approach. Where the truncated graph is derived from the adjacency matrix composed of the collapsed cross sections with a given flux - such as the IFMIF-DONES flux. This will produce a truncated graph which will identify nuclei which could potentially be produced at a given facility.
We will present the derivation of such a graph, and identify key features of its topology.
