SHIELD: A Reference Gas-Driven Permeation Platform for Hydrogen Permeation Studies
James Dark, Colin Weaver, Remi Delaporte-Mathurin +2
A gas-driven permeation (GDP) platform, SHIELD (Salt-compatible Hydrogen barrier Investigation and EvaLuation for fusion Devices), has been developed to measure hydrogen transport…
Accounting for the length-scale dependence of thermal diffusivity in 3C-SiC measured with transient thermal gratings
Keshav Vasudeva, Samuel Huberman, Angus P. C. Wylie +7
Pump-probe optical methods like transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) enable rapid, nondestructive thermoelastic property measurements. But, in phonon-dominated ceramics, they can u…
BABY 1L: First Tritium Breeding Campaign Results
Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin, Nikola Goles, Collin Dunn +8
Achieving tritium self-sufficiency is a critical challenge for future fusion power plants. The BABY 1L experiment, part of the LIBRA project at MIT, aims to benchmark tritium breed…
Advancing Tritium Self-Sufficiency in Fusion Power Plants: Insights from the BABY Experiment
Remi Delaporte-Mathurin, Nikola Goles, John Ball +13
In the pursuit of fusion power, achieving tritium self-sufficiency stands as a pivotal challenge. Tritium breeding within molten salts is a critical aspect of next-generation fusio…
