Development of vertically straight fusion blanket segment demonstrator including technology development identification

Description

As part of the on-going STEP programme, continued development, learning and understanding of materials and systems is required. As such, the materials team have set out this requirement to better understand the proposed plan for the breeder blankets within the tokomak. This proof of concept, physical scaled demonstrator and broader technology understanding will benefit the programme and allow for further progress to be made. The scaled physical demonstrator that this project will deliver is to demonstrate the manufacturability of ferritic-martensitic steels in the form required to suit the Breeder Blanket design proposed herein. The demonstration will prove the engineering processes and techniques necessary for the scaled demonstrator and will identify feasibility of increased scale-up for manufacture of the large-scale fabrication of breeder blanket segments using Grade 91 steel.
