Analysis of a segmentation approach to breeder blanket design and the utilisation of FLiBe as a novel neutron reflector

Nuclear Fusion
Tritium production in a fusion reactor is essential for a deuterium-tritium burning plasma source, and designing a lithium-containing breeder blanket is crucial for a closed fuel cycle in an electricity-to-grid power plant.

Li mass loss and structure change due to long time heating in hydrogen atmosphere from Li2TiO3 with excess Li

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2020
Solid tritium breeding materials are used in a high temperature condition for a long time in a fusion reactor blanket. It is expected that a certain amount of Li will be evaporated and the pebble structure will be changed.

Recent Advances in Tracer‐Aided Mixing Modeling of Water in the Critical Zone

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Safeguarding water resources for society and ecosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of hydrological fluxes within the Critical Zone, Earth's living skin where the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere meet. For decades, tracer‐aided mixing models have been used to track water flow paths through the Critical Zone ...

Neural Networks Predicting Submesoscale Tracer Dispersion

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract In this paper we examine the possibility of directly predicting passive tracer dynamics from flow fields. We use a two‐vertical‐mode model for generating flows ranging from low to high Rossby numbers and advect the passive tracer with such flows. While typically tracer dynamics are obtained by time integrating a tracer advection equation, here

Accident-tolerant hybrid ceramics for fusion breeding blanket

Materials & Design
In a water-cooled ceramic breeding blanket for fusion reactors, hydrogen gas generation by steam oxidation of metallic Be compounds (i.e. neutron multiplier) in a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) raises major safety concerns.

Numerical study of laminar magneto-convection in a differentially heated square duct [PDF]

, 2017
Magnetohydrodynamic pressure drops are one of the main issues for liquid metal blanket in fusion reactors. Minimize the fluid velocity at few millimeters per second is one strategy that can be employed to address the problem.

Fissile core and Tritium-Breeding Blanket: structural materials and their requirements

Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2008
High radiation resistant structural materials for fusion and fission nuclear power plants are a key issue for the development of both types of reactors. Selection criteria, elements of metallurgy of the selected materials, and the major issues as they are revealed by the results of the present development programmes, are presented. At low temperature (∼
