SHINE Technologies has been selected as the DT neutron source supplier for the LIBRTI tritium breeding test facility. As part of UKAEA’s broader Fusion Futures initiative, the LIBRTI program focuses on pioneering fusion fuel advancements and stimulating general industry capacity through international collaboration. Over its four-year span, the program aims to demonstrate controlled tritium...
The transition to commercial fusion energy hinges on robust, real-time tritium monitoring within breeder blanket systems. This work, developed under the TRI-PRISM Project and led by Kyoto Fusioneering UK in collaboration with ENEA, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, and the University of Birmingham, presents the latest advances in hydrogen isotope permeation sensor (HPS) technology for...
First Light Fusion has recently launched its FLARE concept, end-to-end proposal from fusion reaction to fusion reactor. (FLARE= Fusion Via Low-Power Assembly and Rapid Excitation)
The dt fuel is magnetically compressed to high densities ‘slowly’ without heating using a current pulse from a low-voltage, low-power machine (driver) and then rapidly ignited – an established and well documented...
Tritium breeding is an essential element of civilian fusion nuclear energy technologies development paths as it provides a crucial constituent of the plasma fuel. Fusion research and development programs need to establish tritium production in line with fusion energy technologies deployment and development requirements. Tritium, as a radioactive isotope of hydrogen can be produced by nuclear...
