Abstract

A prerequisite for establishing fusion power as one of the sources for low-carbon electricity generation is the demonstration of the capability of future fusion power plants in achieving tritium self-sufficiency and its capability of efficiently producing electricity; both these functions are related to breeding blanket systems, a key component in the transition from ITER to the first generation of nuclear reactors [...]
