abstract = {Neutron damage is a major deciding factor in the
commercialisation of a fusion power plant.Neutron damage
inflicted on the walls of the reactor during operation,
leads to changes in thebehaviour ofmaterials and ultimately
decides the life time of the component. Consequently,it is
essential that fusion relevant materials are tested under
fusion irradiation conditions inorder to qualify them, prior
to use. Tungsten is a keymaterial for the plasma facing
componentin a fusion reactor, and is located directly in the
path of high energy fusion neutrons. Currently,it is not
possible to test the change inmaterial behaviour under high
energy neutrons as thereexits no high flux fusion neutron
source. Moreover, high flux fission reactors are unable tore
produce the high energy neutron damage. However, this work
demonstrates the use of 30MeV protons to induce fusion
relevant neutron damage on tungsten.This work involves the
first irradiation of tungsten using high energy protons
(30MeV). Acomplete irradiation cycle, including irradiation
planning, sample design and manufacturing,polishing,
irradiation, the setting up of post irradiation devices and
post irradiation investigationwas carried out within the
scope of this work. Optimal sample geometry for
acceleratorirradiations, which is also directly comparable
and compatible with fission reactor irradiations,was
manufactured. The sample holder was designed such that
in-situ temperaturemeasurements were possible for the first
time. Additionally, hot cell and remote handlingconforming,
punch and indentation testing have been developed and
demonstrated throughthe use of irradiated active samples.},
