Neutronic analysis of effects of inboard materials on the size of a tokamak fusion reactor
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021 The effects of inboard materials on the size of a tokamak fusion reactor were studied based on reactor system parameters determined through a coupled analysis of tokamak systems and neutron transport. With an inboard blanket, the shielding capability was

Modeling and analysis of the tritium fuel cycle for ARC- and STEP-class D-T fusion power plants
Nuclear Fusion, 2023 The limited tritium resources available for the first fusion power plants (FPPs) make fuel self-sufficiency and tritium inventory minimization leading issues in FPP design. This work builds on the model proposed by Abdou et al (2020 Nucl.

Tritium Breeding and Direct Energy Conversion [PDF]
, 1972 Tritium breeding and direct energy conversion are key technological problems in the development of practical fusion reactors. Lithium in some form is needed for tritium generation, but certain chemical problems must be overcome. Alternatives to lithium metal should be considered.

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.
