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,

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

The EU strategy for solving the DEMO exhaust problem
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.

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 ...

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