Background: The emergence and growth of fusion technology enables investigative studies into its applications beyond typical power production facilities. This study seeks to determine the viability of medical isotope production with the neutrons produced in an example large fusion device. Using FISPACT-II (a nuclear inventory code) and a simulated …
The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme aims to deliver a UK prototype fusion energy plant, targeting 2040, and a path to commercial viability of fusion. The STEP Prototype Powerplant (SPP) has the objectives to generate 100 MWe of net electrical power, be tritium self-sufficient, demonstrate high-grade heat, an…
