Recent efforts in the EUROfusion programme towards the realization of a fusion power plant are aiming at developing the conceptual...
The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme aims to deliver a UK prototype fusion energy plant by 2040, paving the way for commercially viable fusion power. STEP will harness energy from the fusion of Deuterium and Tritium—a reaction that releases 17.6 MeV, with 14.1 MeV imparted to the resulting neutron. To achieve its mission, STEP must meet two critical requirements: (1)...
For future D-T fusion devices including DEMO reactors and plants, it is essential to achieve the high neutronics performance and to build an efficient tritium fuel cycle. There have been a few future fusion devices developed or under development in China, such as the CFETR (China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor), the burning plasma superconduting experimental tokamak device and the CFEDR...
Aggressive timelines for commercial fusion deployment by the private sector necessitate rapid design iterations to facilitate the build-measure-learn cycle. Many challenges to this process arise in the design of fusion power plants due to the highly integrated nuclear nature of these systems. In particular, nuclear responses throughout the facility are responsible for establishing requirements...
