In this talk, we present the ongoing work on creating a high-fidelity digital twin of the LIBRTI facility using NVIDIA Omniverse and illustrate how design processes, real-time simulation, robotics, and visual analytics integrate to enable future operational workflows. The prototype interactive experience illustrates an example end-to-end irradiation sequence within the facility, including...
Within the context of deploying future fusion power devices, the breeder blanket system remains at a very low technology readiness level (TRL) and therefore requires substantial research and development to ensure long-term robustness, reliability, and safety. Breeder blankets are highly complex, tightly coupled systems involving neutronics, thermal hydraulics, materials behaviour, and tritium...
In order to most efficiently produce tritium from a high energy neutronic reaction, lithium dense tritium breeding materials (TBMs) are required. TBMs must operate under high temperatures and neutron radiation, whilst producing extractable tritium and being compatible with the surrounding materials. Ceramic TBMs offer material compatibility and do not suffer from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)...
