Clean energy from nuclear fusion requires the development of an efficient technology for hydrogen isotope separation capable of high separation efficiency with lower energy costs and lower tritium inventory. Isotope separation using adsorbents such as zeolites and MOFs shows great promise due to their high isotope selectivity, but are limited to ve…

The separation of hydrogen isotopes is a vital step in preparing tritium and deuterium fuels for future fusion energy plants. This represents a fundamental challenge to fusion energy since the separation process must be able to handle high throughputs of hydrogen isotopes with a low tritium inventory, as tritium is highly radioactive and hazardo…

An investigation was conducted into minimising effective dose to members of the public in the unlikely event of an accident by optimising design parameters and site locations of future fusion power plants. This is part of our defence in depth approach for tritium safety that also includes significant work on the prevention of accidents. Calculat…

In the Pre-Concept Design Phase of EU DEMO, the work package TFV (Tritium – Matter Injection – Vacuum) has developed a smart and tritium self-sufficient three-loop fuel cycle architecture. Driven by the need to reduce the tritium inventory in the systems to an absolute minimum, this requires the continual recirculation of gases in loops without…

Commercial generation of electricity via fusion technology remains one of the promising alternatives to help meet the challenging targets to decarbonize the global energy system. Fusion technology can play a significant role as part of the long-term switch from carbon-based fuels to electricity, due to superior energy output per energy generation a…

Any future European DEMO reactor which is based upon the D-T fusion reaction will require a tritium plant to reprocess gases such that they can be effectively resupplied to the tokamak fuelling systems, and to protect the environment and personnel from tritium releases. The plant must also be designed to allow replacement of burnt fuel with tritium…
