Conceptual design study of the tritium breeding unit for verifying the long-term performance of the breeding blanket

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
Fusion reactors produce high-energy neutrons through the Deuterium-Tritium (DT) reaction. The long-term performance verification and structural integrity assessment of the breeding blanket under continuous plasma operation are essential for the ...

Comparative evaluation of solar, fission, fusion, and fossil energy resources, part 3 [PDF]

The role of nuclear fission reactors in becoming an important power source in the world is discussed. The supply of fissile nuclear fuel will be severely depleted by the year 2000. With breeder reactors the world supply of uranium could last thousands of

Neutron-induced dpa, transmutations, gas production, and helium embrittlement of fusion materials

, 2013
In a fusion reactor materials will be subjected to significant fluxes of high-energy neutrons. As well as causing radiation damage, the neutrons also initiate nuclear reactions leading to changes in the chemical composition of materials (transmutation ...

Main Nuclear Responses of the DEMO Tokamak with Different In-Vessel Component Configurations

Applied Sciences
Research and development of the DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO) breeder blanket (BB) has been performed in recent years based on a predefined DEMO tritium breeding ratio (TBR) requirement, which determines a loss of wall surface due to non-breeding in ...

Tonic immobility by dogs : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Science in Veterinary Ethology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1993
Tonic immobility (TI) is a state of relative immobility induced by restraint and presumed to function as a terminal defensive reaction. Although TI has been reported in a wide spectrum of species ranging from invertebrates to mammals, there have been ...
