The Emperor’s New Markov Blankets [PDF]

, 2020
Markov blankets have been used to settle disputes central to philosophy of mind and cognition. Their development from a technical concept in Bayesian inference to a central concept within the free-energy principle is analysed.

Exhaust assessment of a European Volumetric Neutron Source (EU-VNS) using SOLPS-ITER

Nuclear Materials and Energy
EUROfusion considers a volumetric neutron source (EU-VNS) to generate a neutron wall load of about 0.5MW/m2 to qualify tritium breeding blankets early in support of EU-DEMO that mitigates the risk of a late testing for required nuclear technology.

Tritium technologies for pbli based breeding blankets

, 2013
A lead-lithium based breeding blanket for DEMO and its corresponding Test Blanket Module (TBM) to be tested in ITER is being developed in EU. The same approach is pursued in other countries involved in the development of fusion nuclear technologies.

Fatigue lifetime prediction and reliability assessment for fusion blankets under pulsed operational loading

Nuclear Fusion
The breeding blanket is a critical component of magnetic confinement fusion reactors. The reliability, availability, maintainability, and inspectability (RAMI) of the blanket has been recognized as a major challenge on the pathway to commercial fusion ...

Heat transfer problems in gas-cooled solid blankets

, 1976
In all fusion reactors using the deuterium-tritium fuel cycle, a large fraction approximately 80 percent of the fusion energy will be released as approximately 14 MeV neutrons which must be slowed down in a relatively thick blanket surrounding the plasma,

Experimental demonstration of advanced ISO-FLUX equilibrium control during the first JT-60SA operational phase under DEMO-relevant conditions

Nuclear Fusion
In the control of large superconducting tokamaks, particularly for devices like DEMO reactors, where no stabilizing plates or in-vessel coils can be mounted due to the existence of tritium breeding blankets, position, shape, and current of plasmas must ...

Selective Breeding in Organic Dairy Production [PDF]

, 2009
Organic dairy farming started to take off in the early 1990s, when the European Union laid down organic standards for animal production. Until now, however, only incidental steps have been taken towards organic breeding and organic farmers mainly use ...

Experimental Investigation on Pressure Drops of Purge Gas Helium in Packed Pebble Beds for Nuclear Fusion Blanket

Energies
The flow characteristics of purge gas helium in the pebble bed of the tritium breeding blanket are important in analyzing the tritium purging process and optimizing the design of the solid breeder blanket.

Potential for fissile breeding with the fusion-fission hybrid reactor

, 1976
The general features of the mirror reactor design are discussed. Details of the blanket-coil geometry are shown. The inside face of the blanket segments are divided into individual pressure vessels.
