Digital innovation: Transforming fusion design<\/h3>\n
A cornerstone of LIBRTI’s approach is its digital platform, integrating Building Information Management (BIM) systems with multiphysics simulation models.<\/p>\n
This platform allows for precise performance replication and optimisation, supporting the design and validation of future breeder systems.<\/p>\n
Amanda Quadling, Executive Director for Fusion Fundamental Research and Materials Science at UKAEA, and Senior Responsible Owner for LIBRTI, added: “We aim to move from a science experiment to providing the supply chain with the confidence needed to support future fusion power plants.<\/p>\n
“The engineering scale experimental results combined with a robust digital platform offer powerful ways to design and substantiate future breeder systems for industrial use.”<\/p>\n
A new era for fusion fuel<\/h3>\n
The LIBRTI programme demonstrates the UK’s leadership in advancing fusion energy, offering solutions to the challenges of tritium scarcity and breeder system design.<\/p>\n
With international collaboration and cutting-edge research, fusion fuel is becoming a tangible pathway to a clean, sustainable energy future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
