"An integrated digital framework for the design, build and operation of fusion power plants"

• Eann A. Patterson
• Sally Purdie
• Richard J. Taylor
• Chris Waldon

The development of a commercial fusion power plant presents a unique set of challenges associated with the complexity of the systems, the integration of novel technologies, the likely diversity and distribution of the organisations involved and the scale of resources required.  A framework for creating a digital environment that integrates researc…

"Robust Configuration of the JET Real-Time Protection Sequencer"

The JET Real-Time Protection Sequencer (RTPS) co-ordinates responses for magnetic and kinetic actuators to protect the ITER-Like Wall from possible melting events and other undesirable scenarios. It allows programmable stop responses per pulse, based on alarms raised by other systems. The architecture combines a modular run-time application deve…

"Waste implications from minor impurities in European DEMO materials"

• M.R. Gilbert
• T. Eade
• C. Bachmann
• U. Fischer
• N.P. Taylor

Waste-production predictions for the future demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO) are necessary to produce an accurate picture of the likely environmental and economic costs of radioactive waste disposal at end-of-life (EOL). Even during the conceptual stage of DEMO design it is important to perform waste assessment so as to avoid potential surpr…
