TL;DR: In this article, the primary concerns in the design of a divertor component are the high heat fluxes and the surface erosion due to plasma/wall interactions, along with the associated issue of plas

TL;DR: In this article, a new computational model of the edge plasma in axisymmetric magnetic fusion devices has been developed based on finite element methods, where Braginskii-type plasma fluid equations and a one-energy group neutral particle diffusion equation are spatially discretized on a two-dimensional domain using Galerkin, modified artificial diffusion, and anisotropic streamline-upwind/Petrov-Galerkin finite element method.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel blanket concept for in-situ tritium breeding in a near-term device such as ITER is proposed, which assumes a ferritic steel for structure and cladding and beryllium for neutron multiplication.
