Nuclear fusion energy is considered as a clean and safe energy source. As the fuel of
deuterium–tritium (D–T) fusion reactor, T must be produced by the reaction between neutron …

Developing wear resistant protective coatings on ferritic/martensitic steel (F/M) used in fourth
generation nuclear reactor is still a challenge, especially at high-temperature service …

Recently, ferritic/martensitic steel (F/M) has been widely used in the fields of thermal power
unit and nuclear energy. While the disadvantage of insufficient oxidation resistance at high …

Understanding the permeation behavior of tritium from a pebble bed breeding blanket is
essential for establishing a self-sufficient fuel cycle in a nuclear fusion reactor. It is known …

In the helium-cooled pebble bed blanket concept of DEMO, the reduced activation ferritic-
martensitic steel EUROFER97 will be in direct contact with lithium ceramic pebbles and …

For a strict control of tritium migration in fusion reactor fuel systems, tritium permeation
barrier coatings have been developed for several decades. In liquid blanket concepts …

Structural steel will be in long-term contact with ceramic tritium breeder at a high
temperature in a solid tritium breeding blanket. The maximum temperature in the tritium …

Corrosion of tritium permeation barrier ceramic coatings by liquid tritium breeders is an
unavoidable concern in a high thermal efficiency fusion reactor. In this study, we have …

The tritium breeder and structural materials are necessary components in the blanket to
realize tritium (T) self‐sustainment of nuclear fusion. The long‐term exposure between …

In fusion reactor blankets, multifunctional ceramic coatings fabricated on structural materials
have been investigated for tritium permeation reduction, electrical insulation, and corrosion …
