The EU DEMO power plant is the final stage of the EUROfusion Fusion Technology Programme’s route to commercially viable electricity supply [1]. The selection of apposite technologies for DEMO power plant sub-systems is essential. The breeding blanket, responsible for absorption of nuclear energy, tritium fuel production and a substantial proporti…
