In addition to the engineering challenges associated with building and operating any complex facility, a range of critical materials issues must be addressed in order to make fusion power commercially viable. These include: (1) developing structural materials with suitably long lifetimes, (2) obtaining a plasma-facing material with sufficient ductility and low tritium retention, and (3)...

A. The first EAST plasma was ignited in 2006 with non-actively-cooled steel plates as plasma-facing materials and components (PFMC) which was then upgraded into full graphite tiles bolted onto water-cooled copper heat sinks in 2008. And the first wall was changed further into TZM in 2012, while keeping graphite for both of the upper and lower divertors. With rapid increase in H&CD power in...

Post mortem analysis of components removed from the JET ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) provides an overall picture of long term fuel inventory. Results from the first 2011-12 (ILW-1) and second 2013-14 (ILW-2) JET-ILW campaigns are now available making a comprehensive overview possible. Overall plasma times for ILW-1 and ILW-2 are similar: ~ 6 hours limiter plasma and ~14 / ~13 hours divertor...

Fusion-fission hybrid facility based on superconducting tokamak DEMO-FNS is developed in Russia for integrated commissioning of steady-state and nuclear fusion technologies at the power level up to 40 MW for fusion and 400 MW for fission reactions. The project status corresponds to transition from conceptual design to engineering one. This facility is considered in RF as the main source of...

Inventory calculations have a key role in designing future fusion power plants because, for a given irradiation field and material, they can predict the time evolution in chemical composition, activation, decay heat, gamma-dose, gas production, and even damage (dpa) dose. For conceptual designs of the European DEMO fusion reactor such calculations can provide information about the neutron...

After obtaining a full-coverage free curve-surface flow by curve plate with three layer meshes, new experimental results showed that a full-coverage free surface flow can’t be obtained by a flat plate with meshes. More were recently investigated on MHD effects of other free surface flows flowing on flat plate. Base on the experimental data and newly developed modeling method, other way is...
