“…The accelerator system in the IFMIF-DONES (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility -Demo Oriented NEutron Source) project, described in [22], consists of an injector that generates deuterons. These deuterons are then accelerated in subsequent equipment, with the beam current set at 125 mA.…”

“…It is the genetic algorithm provided by the Global Optimization Toolbox of MATLAB [18][19][20], which is a robust tool for engineering problems [21]. However, the cameras must capture the procedure of replacing a module at the DONES particle accelerator [3,22] in Granada, Spain. In this context, the main contributions of this work are the following:…”

Particle accelerators have high-radiation parts requiring remote maintenance tasks, which involve using cameras generally placed by human experts. This work addresses camera placement through black-box global optimization. This approach allows opting for automated solutions and relieving experts of that responsibility. The formulation of the objective function hides the environment-specific placement constraints and shows domain ones only. The proposed methodology allows the use of regular meta-heuristics for standard black-box box-constrained problems, as it is only necessary to honor the bounds of variables. Accordingly, the optimization algorithm used is the genetic algorithm provided by the Global Optimization Toolbox of MATLAB. The objective function computation relies on the simulation capabilities of the widespread Unity game engine. It brings us an integrated framework for defining the target process to consider and for checking the different proposals visually. Based on this framework, this work reconstructs the virtual reality simulation of a maintenance task in a particle accelerator. The results obtained show that the camera positioning achieved by the proposal for four cameras and one target process outperforms the arrangement defined by a human expert.

International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-DEMO-Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is a high-intensity neutron irradiation facility for qualification of fusion reactor materials, which is being designed as part of the European roadmap to fusion-generated electricity. Its main purpose is to study the behavior of materials properties under irradiation in a neutron flux able to simulate the same effects in terms of relevant nuclear responses as those expected in the first wall of the DEMO reactor which is envisaged to follow ITER. It is thus a key facility to support the design, licensing and safe operation of DEMO as well as of the fusion power plants that will be developed afterwards. The start of its construction is foreseen in the next few years. In this contribution, an overview of the IFMIF-DONES neutron source is presented together with a snapshot of the current engineering design status and of the relevant key results achieved within the EUROfusion Work Package Early Neutron Source (WPENS) as part of the 2014–2020 EURATOM Research and Training Programme, complementary to the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (FP8). Moreover, some information on the future developments of the project are given.
