TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored novel concepts for fusion chamber technology that can substantially improve the attractiveness of fusion energy systems, including the potential for: (1) high power density capability; (2) higher plasma β and stable physics regimes if liquid metals are used; (3) increased disruption survivability; (4) reduced volume of radioactive waste; (5) reduced radiation damage in structural materials; and (6) higher availability.

TL;DR: The ALPS program as mentioned in this paper was initiated in order to evaluate the potential for improved performance and lifetime for plasma-facing systems and demonstrate the advantages of advanced limiter-divertor systems over conventional systems in terms of power density capability, component lifetime, and power conversion efficiency, while providing for safe operation and minimizing impurity concerns for the plasma.

TL;DR: The Advanced Limiter-divertor Plasma-facing Systems (ALPS) program was initiated in order to evaluate the potential for improved performance and lifetime for plasma-facing systems as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed recent work on tritium recovery from pure lithium and Pb-17Li alloy and discussed the implications of the work for successful future development.

TL;DR: The details of the power core design are presented together with analysis of the thermal–hydraulic, thermomechanical and materials behavior of in-vessel components for an advanced helium-cooled ferritic steel blanket with flowing PbLi breeder and tungsten plasma-interactive components.
