Overview of EU DEMO design and R&D activities

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2014
Abstract One important objective of the EU fusion roadmap Horizon 2020 is to lay the foundation of a Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor (DEMO) to follow ITER, with the capability of generating several 100 MW of net electricity to the grid and operating with a closed fuel-cycle by 2050.

Service Joining Strategy for the EU DEMO

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
As part of the European Research Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy, the DEMO reactor aims to show the feasibility of a fusion power plant. Due to the loss of revenue created by downtime and the potential for a breakdown to render a reactor inoperable, maintenance is “mission critical” for a power plant.

Safety important classification of EU DEMO components

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract The identification of structures, systems and components (SSCs) performing safety functions is of paramount importance for an EU DEMO development in all phases of the project: design, fabrication, commissioning, operation, maintenance, inspections and tests.

Demo blanket technology R&D results in EU

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2002
Abstract The European breeding blanket R&D for DEMO is focussed on the development of two concepts: the Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) and the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB). Test Blanket Modules (TBMs) based on these two concepts will be tested in ITER during the first 10 years of operation.

The EU DEMO Plant Electrical System: Issues and perspective

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
In the EU DEMOnstration power plant, the Plant Electrical System (PES) is one of the largest systems; its scope covers the electrical power generation and the Power Supply (PS) systems necessary for supplying all the plant loads. The studies conducted so far have been addressed to understand, on the one hand the specific design challenges with respect ...
