This paper describes the status of the pre-conceptual design activities in Europe to advance
the technical basis of the design of a DEMOnstration Fusion Power Plant (DEMO) to come in …

This paper describes the progress of the DEMO design and R&D activities in Europe. The
focus is on a systems engineering and design integration approach, which is recognized to …

Fusion power could be one of very few sustainable options to replace fossil fuels as the
world's primary energy source. Fusion offers the potential of predictable, safe power with no …

The challenge of integrated exhaust consistent with the other requirements in DEMO and
power plant class tokamaks (ITER-like and alternative DEMOs, Fusion Nuclear Science …

Fusion energy is an area of active development and innovation worldwide, with many
design concepts studied, each exhibiting a range of technical challenges. A significant …

We report on the first experimental verification of theoretically predicted multiple bundles of
counter-streaming plasma flows in the island-divertor scrape-off layer (SOL) of the stellarator …

The first wall (FW) of DEMO is a component with high thermal loads. The cooling of the FW
has to comply with the material's upper and lower temperature limits and requirements from …

A fusion power plant can only exist with physics and technology acting in synchrony, over
space (angstroms to tens of metres) and time (femtoseconds to decades). Recent …

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 …

The presently predicted total heating power of the demonstration fusion reactor DEMO is∼ 3
times the ITER value, while the major radius is only 1.5 times larger (R. Wenninger, et al …
