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.
