Physics of tritium breeding as a geometric programming problem [PDF]

, 1977
Tritium breeding in a fusion-fission tokamak reactor is optimized by the technique of geometric programming. The neutronic processes are represented as an objective function found by fitting a generalized quadratic function of the zone widths to the ...

The role of temperature, deuterium pressure and residual gases in deuterium retention and outgassing of lithium deuterium co-deposits

Nuclear Fusion
Liquid lithium (Li) divertor concepts offer a promising solution for managing the extreme heat fluxes expected in future fusion reactors. However, lithium’s strong affinity for hydrogen isotopes raises concerns regarding tritium inventory requirements ...

Tritium breeding experiments in a fusion blanket assembly using a low-intensity neutron generator.

, 1987
Experiments have been carried out to determine the accuracy with which tritium production rates (TPRs) can be measured in a fusion blanket assembly of non-spherical geometry by a non-central low intensity D-T neutron source.

Integral analysis of the effect of material dimension and composition on tokamak neutronics

Nuclear Fusion
The neutronics performance of a tokamak has been identified as an important factor in designing a fusion power plant. The design of the tokamak should not only meet operational parameters such as sufficient tritium breeding, but also safety parameters ...

A New Approach for Assessing the Required Tritium Breeding Ratio and Startup Inventory in Future Fusion Reactors

, 1999
Accurately estimating the required tritium breeding ratio (TBR) Lr in fusion reactor systems is necessary to guide fusion research and development and to assess the feasibility of fusion reactors as a self-sufficient energy source.
