In blankets of a fusion power reactor, liquid metal (LM) breeders, such as pure lithium or
lead-lithium alloy, circulate in complex shape blanket conduits for power conversion and …

The scope of the EUFOfusion Work Package Breeding Blanket is to develop a blanket
concept for the EU DEMO reactor; this includes the blanket segments inside the Vacuum …

The development and demonstration of fusion power plant facilities require advancement of
multiphysics modeling capabilities. These capabilities provide an integrated platform for …

In Europe (EU), in the frame of the EUROfusion consortium activities, four Breeding Blanket
(BB) concepts are being developed with the aim of fulfilling the performances required by a …

This work presents an up-to-date assessment of the TBR (Tritium Breeding Ratio)
requirements for the European DEMO which is under development in the EUROfusion PPPT …

One of the key aspects on the future operation of liquid metal-based breeding blankets is the
eutectic composition of the lead–lithium (PbLi) alloy. There is discrepancy on the exact …

A forced convection PbLi loop has been designed and constructed to test tritium extraction
from molten PbLi. This Tritium Extraction eXperiment (TEX) is designed to operate at …

Permeation is investigated for the introduction of hydrogen isotopes into lead lithium (PbLi)
for the Tritium Extraction eXperiment (TEX). TEX is a forced-convection PbLi loop under …

Three of the four breeder blanket concepts currently under investigation for the European
DEMO Reactor use the eutectic Pb-16Li as breeder material. Those are the Helium Cooled …

Abstract Liquid Lead-Lithium (PbLi) alloys are promising functional material which can act
as both neutron multiplier and tritium breeder in liquid blanket of fusion reactors, however …
