Fusion’s Neutron Hammer: The Impact on Design
As fusion energy edges closer to commercial reality, a central engineering challenge is emerging: the extreme neutron flux bombarding the inner core of reactors, threatening the longevity of critical components, especially seals, structural materials and vacuum vessels. For some first-generation reactors like ARC, this could mean replacing key parts at a certain frequency. But design updates inside ARC propose alternative solutions, like the FLiBe liquid blankets, to mitigate this issue.
Just seal it: why you should call your sealing expert first.
Picture this: your system is built. The drawings are done. The parts are machined. Everything’s assembled and seems ready to go.
Hydrogen: Push Towards the Generation of Green H2
