Assessments of Tritium Breeding Requirements and Breeding Potential for the STARFIRE/Demo Design

Abstract

This paper presents assessments of tritium breeding requirements and breeding potential for the STARFIRE/DEMO design. The assessment of breeding requirement is described based on two design considerations; i.e., (1) tritium inventory and doubling requirement; and (2) computational uncertainties associated with the breeding calculation. The lithium-containing materials considered include: solid Li2O and LiAlO2 and liquid lithium and 17Li-83Pb.
