Safety and environmental advantages of using tritium-lean targets for inertial211 fusion

摘要

One requirement of traditional inertial fusion energy (IFE) power plant designs211u001eis the need to breed large quantities of tritium to replace that which is burned 211u001eapprox. 0.4 kg/day for a 1 GW(e) plant. This necessitates the use of lithium-211u001ebearing blanket materials, which poses a considerable limitation in the choice of 211u001ebreeder and structural materials.
