Tritium management is central to the safe and economic operation of future fusion power plants, yet it remains one of the most complex aspects of reactor design. At the component level, accurate prediction of hydrogen isotope behaviour in breeder materials, structural alloys, and plasma-facing components is required to ensure compliance with safety standards on tritium retention, permeation,...
The blankets in Fusion reactor include both shielding blankets and tritium breeding blankets, both of which have been extensively researched at the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) under the Nuclear Industry Corporation. Based on the absorption of hot helium leak detection technology for shielding blankets, SWIP has published an international standard, ISO 4233: Reactor technology —...
Tritium breeding blanket is the core component in the future fusion power plants, which is responsible for tritium breeding, neutron shielding and heat extraction. In order to realize these functions, the blanket component usually is designed as a box-structure modular made of steel plates, into which the tritium breeding materials and neutron multiplying materials were filled. To exhaust the...
