In blankets of a fusion power reactor, liquid metal (LM) breeders, such as pure lithium or
lead-lithium alloy, circulate in complex shape blanket conduits for power conversion and …

The affordable, robust, compact (ARC) reactor is the product of a conceptual design study
aimed at reducing the size, cost, and complexity of a combined fusion nuclear science …

The spherical tokamak (ST) is a leading candidate for a Fusion Nuclear Science Facility
(FNSF) due to its compact size and modular configuration. The National Spherical Torus …

A consistent, conservative and accurate scheme has been designed to calculate the current
