Tritium production and processing systems for ST-E1

Nuclear Fusion
An integrated tritium fuel-cycle architecture has been developed for ST-E1, a low-aspect-ratio, high-power fusion power plant. The approach couples a helium-cooled liquid-lithium breeder blanket with a dedicated circulation loop providing tritium ...

Build-up of tritium in a liquid-lithium breeding blanket for an inertial-confinement-fusion chamber [PDF]

, 1981
The build-up of tritium in a liquid lithium breeding blanket for an ICF chamber has been examined. The break-even time is found to decrease both the increasing tritium breeding ratio and increasing values of ..cap alpha.., the fraction of unburned ...

MCINO: a multi-physics coupling and intelligent neutronic optimization code for tritium breeding blanket of fusion reactors

Nuclear Fusion
Tritium self-sufficiency is a critical prerequisite for future fusion reactors. The tritium breeding blanket, as the component responsible for in-vessel tritium generation, requires coordinated neutronic and engineering optimization in order to maximize ...

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.

Low technology high tritium breeding blanket concept [PDF]

, 1987
The main function of this low technology blanket is to produce the necessary tritium for INTOR operation with minimum first wall coverage. The INTOR first wall, blanket, and shield are constrained by the dimensions of the reference design and the ...

Densification behavior of ceramic tritium breeder pebble beds under vertical vibration: Effect of vibration parameters

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Packing density of the tritium breeder pebble beds are closely related to the effective density of the lithium atom in the breeding cavities. And the higher the density of lithium atoms the higher the tritium breeding ratio.
