During the last decade, significant progress has been made in the field of pellet injection
with (1) the identification of the drift of the deposited material in the inhomogeneous …

During the past two decades there have been substantial advances in magnetic fusion
research. On the experimental front, progress has been led by the mainline tokamaks, which …

Steady progress has been made worldwide in the application and development of hydrogen
pellet injection as a method for fuelling magnetically confined plasmas. The theoretical …

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 …

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 …

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) power, in either pure fusion or fission-fusion hybrid reactors,
is a possible solution for future world's energy demands. Formation of uniform layers of a …

The method of tracer-encapsulated solid pellet (TESPEL) is now flourishing in various fields.
The original purpose to study impurity transport without giving substantial perturbation on …

Pellet injection is the primary fueling technique planned for core fueling of ITER burning
plasmas. Also, the injection of relatively small pellets to purposely trigger rapid small edge …

Cryogenic pellet injection is a widely used technique for delivering fuel to the core of
magnetically confined plasmas. Indeed, such systems are currently functioning on many …

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 …
