Near-Neutral Low-Activation Refractory Alloys for a Compact Fusion Breeder: A First-Principles Screen and a Method-Based Invention Basis

Low-activation structural-material selection for the compact fusion platform: reduced-activation steels and their activation, decay-heat, and waste-classification behaviour under the 14 MeV spectrum, targeting a low-level-waste class and short-cooldown maintenance. Material-selection targets pending qualification; physics and materials only, no economics.

Abstract

Low-activation structural-material selection for the compact fusion platform: reduced-activation steels and their activation, decay-heat, and waste-classification behaviour under the 14 MeV spectrum, targeting a low-level-waste class and short-cooldown maintenance. Material-selection targets pending qualification; physics and materials only, no economics.
