LIBRTI Conference

Talk

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,...

22. The Tritium Breeder (TriBreed) demonstrator

Richard Smith (Lancaster University)

LIBRTI Conference

Talk

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...

40. Correlation of Scaled Breeder Mock-ups toFull-Scale Using Multiphysics

Alexandre Sureda Croguennoc (IDOM UK Ltd)

LIBRTI Conference

Talk

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...
