Scoping the characteristics and benefits of a connected double-null configuration for power exhaust in EU-DEMO

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2021
A double-null configuration is being considered for the EU-DEMO, due to its potential benefits for power exhaust arising from the use of two active divertors and magnetically disconnected low- and high-field sides.

Prospects of core–edge integrated no-ELM and small-ELM scenarios for future fusion devices

open access: yesNuclear 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 ...

The EU strategy for solving the DEMO exhaust problem

open access: yesFusion 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.

Overview of Thermal Hydraulic Optimization and Verification for the EU-DEMO HCPB BOP ICD Variant

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
When progressing from the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) to the Demonstration Fusion Reactor (DEMO), a system for transferring plasma heat exhaust to a power conversion system is necessary for the so-called Balance of Plant (BOP).

The DEMO Water-Cooled Lead–Lithium Breeding Blanket: Design Status at the End of the Pre-Conceptual Design Phase

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The Water-Cooled Lead–Lithium Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB) is one of the two blanket concept candidates to become the driver blanket of the EU-DEMO reactor. The design was enacted with a holistic approach. The influence that neutronics, thermal-hydraulics (

Passive Hydrogen Recombination during a Beyond Design Basis Accident in a Fusion DEMO Plant

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
One of the most important environmental and safety concerns in nuclear fusion plants is the confinement of radioactive substances into the reactor buildings during both normal operations and accidental conditions.
