The effect of ICRF and LHCD waveguide and launcher location on tritium breeding ratio and radiation damage in fusion reactors
… the 14.1 MeV neutrons born out of the deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reaction interact with the surrounding blanket and structures. The goal of this thesis is to assess the dependence of RF launcher poloidal location on the important neutronics parameters of tritium fuel breeding, launcher damage …

Characterization of a Diamond Proton Recoil Telescope for DT Neutron Measurements in the LIBRA Experiment
The LIBRA project investigates tritium breeding using beam-target style DT neutron generators to irradiate molten salt vessels. A critical aspect of understanding this process is the characterization of the energy and flux anisotropies within the neutron environment, which are inherent to the …

CAD-Based Geometry Representations for Monte Carlo Fusion Neutronics Methods and CSG vs. DAGMC Performance Tradeoffs in OpenMC
Fusion reactors utilizing deuterium and tritium fuel produce high-energy 14.1 MeV neutrons, necessitating a thorough understanding of their behavior for effective reactor design. Neutron transport codes play a critical role in determining key parameters such as tritium breeding ratio, neutron wall …

NITE–Processed SiC/SiC Ceramic Composites in Liquid Sandwich Vacuum Vessel
… let ther-mal energy and neutrons through to the tritium breeding blanket surrounding the plasma while maintaining a vacuum. Thick-walled VVs hinder efficient heat transfer and absorb neutrons. A new "liquid sandwich vacuum vessel" (LSVV) design proposes to use thin walls of silicon carbide ceramic …
