Decommissioning Cost Estimate for the Ghana Research Reactor‐1 Facility Using the CERREX‐D2 Software

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Ghana Research Reactor‐1 facility would certainly be decommissioned, either at the end of its life or by a decision to discontinue its operation. In planning for GHARR‐1’s eventual decommissioning, estimating the overall decommissioning cost is a major activity that needs to be undertaken to support budgeting and decision‐making for the project. To

Decommissioning of a Nuclear Facility With Sodium‐Cooled Fast Reactor as a Final Stage of Its Life Cycle: Overview of Current Projects

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The nuclear power industry preferably aims to a closed nuclear fuel cycle and a transition to a two‐component structure based on the joint operation of thermal and fast neutron reactors. This approach makes it possible to significantly reduce the volume of radioactive waste and increase the efficiency of using uranium fuel. Sodium fast neutron reactors

Investigation of Wall Effect on Packing Structures and Purge Gas Flow Characteristics in Pebble Beds for Fusion Blanket by Combining Discrete Element Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation

Applied Sciences
In a tritium-breeding blanket of a fusion reaction, helium, used as a tritium-purging gas, will purge the tritium breeder pebble beds to extract the tritium in blanket. The purge gas flow characteristics will affect the tritium extraction efficiency. The

A Systematic Framework for Risk Assessment of Fusion Blanket: Addressing Manufacturing Defects, Accident Scenarios, and Radioactive Release

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The breeder blanket, as a critical component in fusion reactors, undertakes three essential functions: tritium breeding, neutron shielding, and thermal energy conversion. Serving as the primary plasma‐facing component, it operates under extreme conditions—including sustained high temperatures, intense neutron irradiation fluxes, significant ...

Effect of divertor on tritium breeding in HELIAS

Fusion Engineering and Design
This study presents tritium breeding calculations for the five-period helical-axis advanced stellarator (HELIAS) using the Serpent2 code. To address the absence of a detailed divertor design, a simplified divertor model with a layered homogenized structure was integrated into the parametric geometry of the HELIAS.
