During the pre-conceptual design phase of fusion devices such as the European demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO), systems codes provide a fast evaluation of optimal design points and highlight high impact areas. However, determining or evaluating a design point at such an early stage comes with uncertainties in many of the design parameters. T…

As conceptual design options for a demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO) are explored it is important to understand the design space for possible non-ITER like design options. The power exhaust is a key design driver for a fusion power plant, and puts strong constraints on the size of the machine. One candidate for a alternative design is a doubl…

Systems codes are used in the conceptual phases of fusion reactors design. They employ a multitude of simplified models to simulate an entire power plant and ensure that designs are self-consistent, viable and optimised with respect to a given figure of merit. Their strength is the fast determination of an overall design. However, their output shou…

We have implemented a one-dimensional scrape-off layer (SOL) model in the PROCESS fusion reactor systems code. It allows reactor scenarios to be obtained while limiting both the plasma temperature of the SOL at the entrance to the sheath at the divertor target, and the power density on the target. To take account of cross-field transport in an …
