Fusion blankets serve three primary functions: 1) breeding tritium fuel, 2) power harnessing to convert fusion energy to usable heat, and 3) shielding magnet systems from radiation damage. Liquid breeder blanket concepts include lead-lithium eutectic (PbLi), molten lithium and beryllium fluoride at eutectic composition (FLiBe), or liquid lithium (Li) as the breeding medium with self-cooled,...
The Tritium Breeder (TriBreed) demonstrator project aims to develop a prototype breeding device that will enable accurate measurements of tritium production and develop novel breeding materials. TriBreed will act as a stepping stone between previous and planned tritium breeding experiments based on low flux neutron generators (typically 10$^{10}$ n s$^{-1}$) and LIBRTI, by taking advantage of...
The efficient and accurate design of tritium breeder blankets is essential for the success of nuclear fusion reactors, playing a vital role in achieving optimal performance and safety. This study, developed within the LIBRTI programme funded by UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), introduces a comprehensive workflow that integrates parametric geometry generation, meshing, and multiphysics...
