“…Meanwhile, it is same with the pure system that the H-H defect geometry that contains two separate H-W tetrahedra is still energetically favorable over the defect geometry where the hydrogen atoms share a nearest-neighbor tungsten atom in the vicinity of the interstitial nitrogen. Together with the very local interaction range, it can be expected that the nitrogen has little effect on the dissolution of hydrogen in the interstitial site, particularly at the operation temperature of tungsten in fusion reactors (700-1600 K) [32].…”

The European Power Plant Conceptual Study (PPCS) has been a study of the conceptual designs of five commercial fusion power plants, with the main emphasis on system integration. The study focused on five power plant models, named PPCS A, B, AB, C and D, which are illustrative of a wider spectrum of possibilities. The models are all based on the tokamak concept and they have approximately the same net electrical power output, 1500 MWe. The PPCS allows the clarification of the concept of DEMO, the device that will bridge the gap between ITER and the first-of-a-kind fusion power plant. An assessment of the PPCS models with limited extrapolations highlighted the physics issues that must be addressed to establish the DEMO physics basis. Similarly, a review of the DEMO technical objectives brings to the fore the issues that must be addressed to establish the engineering and technological basis for DEMO.

According to current knowledge and understanding, nuclear fusion can be developed to a sustainable energy technology. Fuel is abundant and key points as fusion power production and alpha particle heating have already been demonstrated. The next-step device ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is designed to demonstrate net power production and to address most of the technological issues on the way to a power reactor. There is, however, a
