Abstract. The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility, IFMIF, is an intense neutron source driven by two 40 MeV deuteron beams striking a joint lithium target producing neutrons with a peak around 14 MeV. The neutrons produced within a footprint of 20 cm width by 5 cm height are penetrating the high-flux (0.5 litres, 20-55 dpa/full power year), medium-flux (6 litres, 1-20 dpa/fpy), and lowflux (>100 litres, 100 litres,
