The EU strategy for solving the DEMO exhaust problem [PDF]
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021 Exhaust of power and particles is crucial for the DEMO device and the EU has developed a strategy to address the challenges. This strategy consists of a conventional approach based on extrapolation of the ITER solution (detached lower single null divertor) as well as the development of alternatives as risk mitigation.

Impact of plasma-wall interaction and exhaust on the EU-DEMO design [PDF]
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,

Progress in EU-DEMO in-vessel components integration
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017 In the EU DEMO design (Romanelli, 2012; Federici et al., 2014), due to the large number of complex systems inside the tokamak vessel it is of vital importance to address the in-vessel integration at an early stage in the design process. In the EU DEMO design, after a first phase in which the different systems have been developed independently based on ...

Neutronics assessment of EU DEMO alternative divertor configurations
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021 Abstract As a demonstration fusion power plant, EU DEMO has to prove the maturity of fusion technology and its viability for electricity production. The central requirements for DEMO rest on its capability to generate significant net electric power to the grid (300 MW to 500 MW) safely and consistently.

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 ...

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 ...

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
