The tritium aspects of the DT fuel cycle embody some of the most challenging feasibility and
attractiveness issues in the development of fusion systems. The review and analyses in this …

How much of the density pedestal structure is determined by fueling versus transport is still
an open question. In most current tokamaks, the scrape-off layer is not opaque enough to …

The limited tritium resources available for the first fusion power plants (FPPs) make fuel self-
sufficiency and tritium inventory minimization leading issues in FPP design. This work builds …

Within the framework of activities on creation of a pilot industrial hybrid reactor (Pilot Hybrid
Plant–PHP), the DEMO-FNS fusion neutron source is being designed in Russia. Progress in …

High-speed injection of solid fuel was first proposed in 1954 as a possible solution to the
problem of transporting fresh fuel across the confining magnetic fields into the plasma of a …

Pellet injection is the most promising technique to achieve efficient plasma core fuelling, key
for attaining stationary scenarios in large magnetic confinement fusion devices. In this paper …

Abstract The Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor DEMO is the step foreseen to bridge the
gap between ITER and the first commercial fusion power plant. One key element in the …

In the framework of the EUROfusion Programme, EU is preparing the conceptual design of
the inner fuel cycle of a pulsed tokamak DEMO. This paper illustrates a quantified process to …

An intermeshing counter-rotating twin-screw extruder is reported to be more reliable and
stable among various methods of extrusion techniques in pellet production systems for the …

ITER will be the first tokamak to sustain a fusion-producing, or burning, plasma. If the plasma
temperature were to inadvertently rise in this burning regime, the positive correlation …
