Abstract:It is a challenging but key task to reduce the tritium inventory in EU-DEMO to levels that are acceptable for a nuclear regulator. As solution to this issue, a smart fuel cycle architecture is proposed based on the concept of Direct Internal Recycling (DIR), in which the Metal Foil Pump (MFP) will play an important role to separate the unburnt hydrogen isotopes coming from the divertor by exploiting the superpermeation phenomenon. In this study, we will present the assessment of the performance of the lower po… Show more
