Abstract
The reduction of long-term radioactivity is analysed here in V–Cr–Ti alloys, one of the proposed structural materials for fusion power plants. In particular is explored the possibility of recycling within the nuclear industry and of clearance, that is declassification to non-active material. Vanadium alloys have the potential to reach the dose rate hands-on recycling limit when used in a blanket, if noxious radioactive products coming from impurities activation are eliminated. Clearance is also possible in principle, but only if further separation of activation products of titanium is carried out after service.
