Assessments of Tritium Breeding Requirements and Breeding Potential for the STARFIRE/Demo Design [PDF]
Nuclear Technology - Fusion, 1983 This paper presents assessments of tritium breeding requirements and breeding potential for the STARFIRE/DEMO design. The assessment of breeding requirement is described based on two design considerations; i.e., (1) tritium inventory and doubling requirement; and (2) computational uncertainties associated with the breeding calculation.

Tritium breeding and activation in the cascade reactor [PDF]
, 1983 Cascade is an inertial fusion reactor that uses circulating Li/sub 2/O pellets as a coolant and tritium breeding medium. The pellets flow through a horizontal rotating vessel, and they are held against the vessel wall by centrifugal force. Three wall designs were considered: a steel shell and a SiC shell prestressed by Al or steel cables.

Tritium Breeding Ceramics for Nuclear Fusion [PDF]
Tritium and deuterium are widely considered as fuel for fusion power plants. While deuterium is quite abundant in nature, tritium needs to be “bred” from lithium in a neutron reaction. Hence, for the breeding blanket development of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO), the development of ...

Multiphysics Optimization for First Wall Design Enhancement in Water-Cooled Breeding Blankets
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021 The commercial feasibility of the first fusion power plant generation adopting D-T plasma is strongly dependent upon the self-sustainability in terms of tritium fuelling. Within such a kind of reactor, the component selected to house the tritium breeding
