A high performing DEMO divertor target mock-up design that uses the thermal break interlayer concept is presented. The design evolved from a previous design of which six mock-ups were designed, fabricated and subjected to high heat flux testing. The new design was generated using optimisation techniques; specifically, software was developed to …
Precipitation hardened Copper-Chromium-Zirconium (CuCrZr) alloy is a prime
candidate for divertor components in future European DEMOnstration fusion reactors. To develop the DEMO Design Criteria for In-vessel Components (DDC-IC), the failure criterion of CuCrZr needs to be investigated. Hence, the effects of stress triaxiality and loading…
