Towards nuclear fusion: Certifying the suitability of materials for fusion
The material requirements for a fusion power plant are very challenging In previous issues we have seen that the most promising reaction for the first generation of fusion power plants is the deuterium-tritium reaction. We also know that this reaction generates neutrons, with energy of 14.1 MeV, which will strike the reactor vessel and its […]
