"The Licensing of Nuclear Fusion Power Plants - a Proportionate Approach"
First Joint IAEA-ITER Technical Meeting on Safety and Radiation Protection for Fusion, Online, 17-19 November 2020

L.G. Williams N. Taylor M. Lukacs

The commercial exploitation of nuclear fusion energy for electricity production is now nearer than previously imagined. Several organisations are developing fusion reactors with the aim of demonstrating electricity production in the 2030s. These timescales suggest that conceptual designs are being worked on now and the detailed design, construct…

"Waste implications from minor impurities in European DEMO materials"
27th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Ahmedabad, India, 22-27 October 2018

M.R. Gilbert T. Eade C. Bachmann U. Fischer N.P. Taylor

Waste-production predictions for the future demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO) are necessary to produce an accurate picture of the likely environmental and economic costs of radioactive waste disposal at end-of-life (EOL). Even during the conceptual stage of DEMO design it is important to perform waste assessment so as to avoid potential surpr…
