A Demonstration (DEMO) thermonuclear reactor is the next step after the International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Designs for a DEMO divertor and the First Wall …

This work presents an overview of the integrated strategy developed, as part of the DEMO
Key Design Integration Issue 1 (KDII1), to protect the EU-DEMO first wall (FW) from planned …

This paper is part of a series of publications concerning the development of the European
DEMO during the Pre-Concept Design Phase (2014-2020), and also describing the strategy …

We developed a first single null divertor scenario for EU-DEMO with the SOLPS-ITER code,
including all charge states of D, He and Ar in the simulation and kinetic analysis of the …

In this tutorial article, we review the technological, physics, and economic basis for a
magnetic fusion device utilizing a flowing liquid lithium divertor (molten metal velocity in the …

For electricity producing tokamak fusion reactors like EU-DEMO, it is prudent to choose a
plasma scenario close to the ITER baseline, where the largest amount of experimental …

In the framework of the EUROfusion's Power Plant Physics and Technology, the working
package breeding blanket (BB) aims at investigating four different BB concepts for an EU …

High heat flux environments, such as those encountered in atmospheric re-entry and
nuclear fusion, impose severe thermal gradients and high local temperatures on structural …

In the present work, the role of plasma facing components protection in driving the EU-
DEMO design will be reviewed, focusing on steady-state and, especially, on transients. This …

A summary of recent results on filamentary transport, mostly obtained with the ASDEX-
Upgrade tokamak (AUG), is presented and discussed in an attempt to produce a coherent …
