Case Study
ITER Tritium & Heat Management
Case study TBM Port Cell - Tritium & Heat Management BACKGROUND The €13 Billion ITER project researching nuclear fusion for electricity production will require large amounts of Tritium, a scarce hydrogen isotope, to fuel the reaction. Tritium can be produced as part of a fusion reaction within a tritium breeding blanket. Three of the ITER equatorial port cells (i.e. access points) are dedicated to the assessment of Test Blanket Modules (
