A Multidisciplinary Approach to Volumetric Neutron Source (VNS) Thermal Shield Design: Analysis and Optimisation of Electromagnetic, Thermal, and Structural Behaviours

The Volumetric Neutron Source (VNS) is a pivotal facility proposed for advancing fusion nuclear technology, particularly for the qualification of breeding blanket systems, a key component of DEMO and future fusion reactors. This study focuses on the design and optimisation of the VNS Thermal Shield,...
