Suitable account of available excitation-function of deuterons interaction with target nuclei components of candidates materials for the ITER fusion reactor, the European DEMO fusion reactor, and the IFMIF-DONES Irradiation Facility has been proved by consistent analysis of the reaction mechanisms involved in the complex deuteron-nucleus interaction. In this work the attention has been focused on the analysis of the deuteron activation cross sections related to the gas accumulation, (d, p), (d, 2p), (d, xn2p), and to the strong neutron emission, (d, xn), interaction processes of interest for the radiation damage and shielding design studies devoted to the structural materials selection. The key role of direct interactions, i.e., breakup, stripping and pick-up processes is stressed out by the comparison of data with theoretical and evaluation predictions.
