A. International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC) has implemented DEMO research and development activities for 10 years under the Broader Approach (BA) activity. Five common issues on blanket technologies were selected and corresponding R&D has been carried out. The accomplishments of R&D were; successful production of reduced activation ferritc/martensitic steel in DEMO scale production...

Although the ultimate goal of most current fusion research is to build an economically attractive power plant, the present status of physics and technology does not provide the performance necessary to achieve this goal. Therefore, in order to model how such plants may operate and what their output might be, extrapolations must be made from existing experimental data and technology. However,...

A systematic, self-consistent process to find the K-DEMO operation scenario has been investigated. Recent progress on K-DEMO scenario study explored zero-dimensional operation regime and one-dimensional current density configurations with fixed safety factor profile [1]. However, previous researches do not contain confinement optimization process for stable equilibria. In this study, an...

A. The Fusion Engineering Research Project (FERP) in NIFS is conducting the conceptual design activity of the LHD-type helical fusion reactor FFHR-d1A. Recently, two options of “basic” and “challenging” have been newly defined. Conservative technologies including what will be demonstrated in ITER are chosen in the basic option, while new ideas that would possibly be beneficial for making the...

High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) may become in future an option for the superconducting magnets of commercial fusion plants. The general requirements for HTS conductors and coils are presented together with a tentative roadmap for the related R&D activity. The issue of the material cost and its evolution is also discussed in comparison to the Low Temperature Superconductors (LTS)...
