Optimizing Tritium Breeding Ratios for Fusion Fuel Cycle Self-Sufficiency

This research explores the technical challenges of achieving a tritium breeding ratio (TBR) greater than unity, a critical requirement for the long-term viability of fusion energy. It focuses on the interplay between lithium-6 enrichment, breeder-blanket chemical stability, and the management of tritium permeation and retention within neutron-irradiated environments.
