ABSTRACT
Since 2008 the ion beam irradiation modeling experiments for the testing of reactor materials radiation hardness are under development at the ITEP heavy ion RFQ injector with MEVVA ion source. Ion beam irradiation method has certain advantages for such tests. One of them is high speed of defect formation. Moreover, the irradiated samples can be investigated by traditional investigation methodic because they have not radioactivity induced. The special sample support with electrostatic deflector was constructed and installed at the injector output. The result of ion beam dynamics simulation throughout the deflector as well as the detailed description of the test facility is presented. The first experimental results are presented as well. They have been demonstrated promising results.
