UKAEA-STEP-CP(23)092022
The UK Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) program is currently progressing the conceptual engineering design of a Spherical Tokamak-based fusion reactor. The program includes a project concerned with design of the reactor breeding blanket. The objective of this work was to develop a low fidelity, integrated simulation approach to sup…

UKAEA-CCFE-PR(25)2752021
Several fusion power concepts propose the use of liquid lithium as the primary coolant and tritium breeder. Conventional Heat Exchangers (HEX) use water. In order to avoid tritium permeation into water, a molten salt can be used as secondary coolant, with water as the tertiary system. Nevertheless, the design of the HEX to transfer the energy fr…

UKAEA-STEP-PR(21)022021
As part of the UKAEA Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) fusion power station programme, a novel breeding blanket design was assessed. A conceptual design of STEP, which will be an innovative plan for a commercially-viable fusion power station, will be completed by 2024. The final aim of the current assessment is to find a conceptual des…
