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.

Composition design and preparation of lithium lead titanate (Li2PbxTi1-xO3, 0.1 < x < 0.9): A novel tritium breeding ceramic

Nuclear Materials and Energy
In deuterium–tritium (D-T) fusion reactors, the design of tritium breeding materials plays very critical role in tritium self-sufficiency. Compared to materials like Li2O, Li2TiO3 has a weaker tritium breeding capability, because of the lower density of ...
