Kyoto Fusioneering America: FY2023 INFUSE Project Awards

Abstract

Kyoto Fusioneering America was awarded three INFUSE projects in FY2023, which are set to begin in 2024. The three projects are detailed, all of which are related to the breeding blanket and tritium technology area.

The first project is with Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and is titled "A Multiphysics Simulation of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Li-Pb Flow in a Blanket." The second project is with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and is titled "Evaluating Lithium-Lead (Li-Pb) Mixtures for Fusion Energy Blanket Systems: Exploring the Impact of Composition and Temperature." The third project is with Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and is titled "Evaluating Lithium Compatibility for Electrode Materials Used in an Electrolysis-Based Tritium Extraction Process."

Details of the project scope, and how each project addresses a specific fusion science and technology gap, are provided, with specific emphasis to their relevance to the U.S. Bold Decadal Vision.

Kyoto Fusioneering America was awarded three INFUSE projects in FY2023, which are set to begin
in 2024. The three projects are detailed, all of which are related to the breeding blanket and tritium
technology area.
The first project is with Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and is titled "A Multiphysics
Simulation of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Li-Pb Flow in a Blanket." The second project is with Oak
Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and is titled "Evaluating Lithium-Lead (Li-Pb) Mixtures for Fusion
Energy Blanket Systems: Exploring the Impact of Composition and Temperature." The third project
is with Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and is titled "Evaluating Lithium Compatibility
for Electrode Materials Used in an Electrolysis-Based Tritium Extraction Process."
Details of the project scope, and how each project addresses a specific fusion science and technology
gap, are provided, with specific emphasis to their relevance to the U.S. Bold Decadal Vision.
