Conceptual design of a modular EC heating system for EU-DEMO
Nuclear FusionThe European DEMO (EU-DEMO) reactor studies within EUROfusion aim to develop a fusion power plant concept. The large tokamak device needs an auxiliary heating power which, at the present stage, is provided by the Electron Cyclotron (EC) heating system ...

Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio
Fusion Engineering and DesignThe design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1), and, to rely on mature technology, a peak magnetic field no greater than 13 T was considered.

Matter Injection in EU-DEMO: The Preconceptual Design [PDF]
Fusion Science and Technology, 2021 EU-DEMO will be the next step in Europe after ITER on the path toward a fusion power plant. The matter injection systems have to provide the requested material in order to establish, maintain, and terminate the burning plasma. Their main function is to fuel the plasma, but other tasks are addressed as well like delivering matter for generating ...

Thermal Design of a Fusion Power Plant and Its Waste Heat Recovery to Produce Hydrogen [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2023 As climate change becomes a more severe problem each day, the need to respond to it firmly grows in importance. For decades many scientists believed fusion, or, as it is called in the engineering society, the artificial sun was the future of unlimited ...

Impact of plasma-wall interaction and exhaust on the EU-DEMO design
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021 In the present work, the role of plasma facing components protection in driving the EU-DEMO design will be reviewed, focusing on steady-state and, especially, on transients. This work encompasses both the first wall (FW) as well as the divertor. In fact,

Modelling the PbLi flow including tritium transport and permeation with GETTHEM
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023 One of the main challenges to be addressed to achieve a reliable electricity production from the EU DEMO reactor is the realization of a closed fuel cycle, for which a suitable Tritium Extraction and Removal System (TERS) is required. One of the possible

Prospects of core–edge integrated no-ELM and small-ELM scenarios for future fusion devices
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023 One of our grand challenges towards fusion energy is the achievement of a high-performance plasma core coupled to a boundary solution. The high confinement mode (H-mode) provides such a high-performance fusion core due to the build-up of an edge ...
