Testing needs for the development and qualification of a breeding blanket for DEMO

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
The purpose of this paper is to critically review the testing and qualification strategy for the DEMO breeding blanket in Europe, identifying the potential risks and weaknesses and recommending, where necessary, the changes required to strengthen or ...

Design of the CIEMAT Corrosion Loop for Liquid Metal Experiments

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The main components of a liquid breeder blanket in a fusion power reactor are lead lithium alloy (PbLi) and the steel structure in which the liquid is enclosed (EUROFER). Several compatibility tests have shown that structural materials always suffer from

The DEMO Water-Cooled Lead–Lithium Breeding Blanket: Design Status at the End of the Pre-Conceptual Design Phase

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The Water-Cooled Lead–Lithium Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB) is one of the two blanket concept candidates to become the driver blanket of the EU-DEMO reactor. The design was enacted with a holistic approach. The influence that neutronics, thermal-hydraulics (

The Markov blanket trick: On the scope of the free energy principle and active inference.

open access: yesPhysics of Life Reviews, 2021
The free energy principle (FEP) has been presented as a unified brain theory, as a general principle for the self-organization of biological systems, and most recently as a principle for a theory of every thing.

The Synthesis, Properties, and Stability of Lithium-Containing Nanostructured Nickel-Doped Ceramics

open access: yesGels, 2022
Lithium-containing ceramics have several great potential uses for tritium production, as well as its accumulation. However, their use is limited due to their poor resistance to external influences, mechanical pressure, and temperature changes.

Peptide nano-blanket impedes fibroblasts activation and subsequent formation of pre-metastatic niche

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
There is evidence to suggest that the primary tumor induces the formation of a pre-metastatic niche in distal organs by stimulating the production of pro-metastatic factors.

Preparation of Design Charts for Estimation of the Length of an Upstream Impervious Blanket in a Homogenous Earth Dam

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, 2023
Earth dams are constructed mainly from soil. A homogenous earth dam is composed of only one material. The seepage through such dams is quite high. Upstream impervious blanket is one of the methods used to control seepage through the dam foundations ...

Prediction of corrosion life of nitrogen blanket casing in salt cavern gas storage

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2022
In this paper, to analyze the oxygen corrosion of the casing string under the nitrogen blanket condition of the salt cavern underground gas storage and to predict the casing's service life, an indoor corrosion weight‐loss experiment was used to study the

Sediment and particulate carbon removal by pipe erosion increase over time in blanket peatlands as a consequence of land drainage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Land drainage is common in peatlands. Artificially drained blanket peat catchments have been shown to have a significantly greater soil pipe density than intact catchments.
