Wakai, Eiichi ; Kogawara, Takafumi; Kikuchi, Takayuki
Recent progress of preliminary engineering design of post irradiation examination (PIE) facilities of IFMIF-EVEDA (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility - Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities) was summarized. The PIE Facilities have mainly hot cells and preparation rooms for some examinations and tests of the materials irradiated in the high-, medium- and low-flux test modules, back plate of Li target, and the others of IFMIF. In this study a basic functional analysis was performed, and handling process of specimen reloading and radiation-shielding wall in hot cells was also evaluated. Based on the results, a layout of PIE facilities was designed.
