The purpose of this work was to establish an approach to drive the development, at pace, of a commercially relevant Spherical Tokamak Concept. Building on the table of parameters and idealised geometry generated from the work of S. Muldrew et al [1], applying core principles, tools, and approaches. The generation and utilisation of a reflective …

Tritium self-sufficiency is one of the fundamental challenges for deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion reactors. The combination of key high temperature radiation shielding materials that possess dense, high neutron absorption cross-section, and moderation properties, and tritium breeding materials could involve interesting design spaces for the centra…

Global research programmes seeking to achieve a commercially viable model of a fusion power plant are being accelerated at an unprecedented rate. One critical element to the design and licensing is an accurate understanding of the radiation environment throughout the plant lifetime and subsequent decommissioning phase. The radiation field which res…

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…

The accurate and efficient mapping of the radiation environment in a nuclear fusion reactor requires the most advanced radiation transport tools. The Monte Carlo method has long been deployed to deal with the complexity of fusion relevant geometries, with MCNP the adopted industry standard code among the European and wider international community. …
