| Research Abstract |
One of the critical issues for DEMO is how to ensure the initial tritium inventory, because of the limited tritium stock in the world market. Hence, in order to ensure the initial tritium inventory for DEMO, some kind of countermeasures is necessary. One of the comprehensive solutions is the commissioning scenario without the initial tritium inventory, in which the tritium produced and bred by the DD fusion reaction assisted by the NBI beam direct reaction are employed for the commissioning of the fusion power plant. This study has revealed that there is a potential of the plasma commissioning scenario without the initial tritium inventory for Demo-CREST.
