Fluid activation is of critical importance to fusion power plant design, as it can impact dose rates to maintenance personnel, heating in sensitive components, and radionuclide inventories with implications for accident scenarios and waste. The levels of fluid activation in a system are dependent on the neutron flux spectrum and the exposure time o…
The competing requirements of fusion breeder blankets and the high dimensionality of their design space necessitate a systematic treatment to map the variations in performance against given objective metrics and to understand the operational envelope. In this endeavour, a digital engineering pipeline for design evaluation and optimisation has be…
