Estimating costs of prototype or demonstration fusion power plants is difficult enough due to the often still preliminary designs combined with a non-existing supply chain for many bespoke technologies or materials. Extrapolating to commercial fusion power plants without a clear design is even harder and uncertainties are large. As a result, for…

In current telerobotics and telemanipulator applications, operators must perform a wide variety of tasks, often with a high risk associated with failure. A system designed to generate data-based behavioural estimations using observed operator features could be used to reduce risks in industrial teleoperation. This paper describes a non-invasive …

Two-micron thick erbium oxide tritium barrier coatings have been prepared by aerosol injection chemical vapor deposition and subsequently irradiated with 33 MeV Au 6+ ions at fluences up to 2.1×10 15 Au/m 2 at 550 o C. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the coating surface …

Coated nuclear fuel particles, most commonly tri-structural isotropic (TRISO), are intended for use in advanced high temperature reactors. The coatings of these particles are designed to protect and encapsulate the fuel during all stages of the fuel cycle, from manufacturing, through operation and up to disposal. It is vital to understand the me…

Helium-induced defect nucleation and accumulation in polycrystalline W and W-0.5wt.%ZrC (W-ZrC) were studied in-situ using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with 40 keV He+ irradiation at 800 and 1000 °С at the maximum damage level of 1 dpa. Radiation-induced dislocation loops were not observed in the current…

The injection of energetic neutral particles into the plasma of magnetic confinement fusion reactors is a widely-accepted method for heating such plasmas; various types of neutral beam are also used for diagnostic purposes. Accurate atomic data are required to properly model beam penetration into the plasma and to interpret photoemission spectra…

In the quest of new materials that can withstand severe irradiation and mechanical extremes for advanced applications (e.g. fission & fusion reactors, space applications, etc.), design, prediction and control of advanced materials beyond current material designs become paramount. Here, through a combined experimental and simulation methodol…

Short-range order (SRO) in multicomponent concentrated alloys affects their mechanical response. Hence, is paramount to understand how composition modifies the chemical ordering in the system to design materials with optimal properties. We present here a methodology to predict the SRO and thermodynamic properties in chemically complex systems and a…

The JET hybrid scenario has been developed from low plasma current carbon wall discharges to the record-breaking Deuterium-Tritium plasmas obtained in 2021 with the ITER-like Be/W wall. The development started in pure Deuterium with refinement of the plasma current, and toroidal magnetic field choices and succeeded in solving the heat load challeng…
