The International Atomic Energy Agency aims to support and strengthen its Member States’ capabilities in the field of technology development of nuclear fission and fusion for energy production.
The operating conditions of the DEMO plants are particularly hostile to materials, as the burning plasma generates a high flux of neutrons and high power densities on the walls, requiring the development of new materials and technologies. Different coolant options for future fusion facilities and advanced fission reactors have been considered, revealing a strong synergy between the two areas of study. An important aspect to be considered is the compatibility between coolants and materials, which is one of the key elements characterizing the harsh operating conditions of a material in fusion power plants and fission advanced reactors.
Member States and stakeholders will benefit from better understanding of the compatibility between coolants and materials for Fusion Facilities and Advanced Fission Reactors; they will also get acquainted of the status of cooperation between the two communities.
Specific objectives of the event are:
