An overview of international efforts in the area of nuclear engineering and technology is presented in this paper. It includes technological and design developments for the three major tokamak in-vessel components – blanket, first wall and divertor plates – as well as the tritium fuel cycle. Most of the results and analyses are based on the ITER activity and the supporting programmes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
