Tritium-assisted deuterium-based fusion breeders
Description
This study investigates the economic prospects of T-assisted D-based Fusion Breeders (FB's) in comparison with a conventional D-T FB.The D-based driver uses the Tritium-Catalyzed-Deuterium (TCD) mode of operation where the 3He leaking out from the plasma is converted into T in the blanket (by neutron capture). The T produced is then added back to the plasma. TCD operation is selected because it offers a significantly higher neutron yield and support-ratio than the standard Catalyzed-D. It offers also higher neutron yield and better plasma energy balance than the standard Semi-Catalyzed-D mode
