Kyoto Fusioneering Chief Innovator spoke at the International Nuclear Manufacturing Summit 22
Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre showcased opportunities for the UK supply chain in the global nuclear market. Our Chief Innovator, Richard Pearson, joined the international fusion panel facilitated by Prof. Ian Chapman, CEO of UKAEA.
Overview of Kyoto Fusioneering’s SCYLLA(“Self-Cooled Yuryo Lithium-Lead Advanced”) Blanket for Commercial Fusion Reactors
Kyoto Fusioneering has published a paper in IEEEXplore on its self-cooled, high temperature tritium breeding blanket: SCYLLA. Challenges we are solving in silicon carbide composite manufacturing, tritium extraction, materials compatibility, and more! Read More
Behind the Fusion Scene with Dr. Miki Nishimura
Behind the Fusion Scene with Kyoto Fusioneering. We interviewed our Corporate Design Manager, Dr. Miki Nishimura. She reveals about her intentions, her goals and world-wide work experience in fusion and the current projects working on at Kyoto Fusioneering.
Kyoto Fusioneering Head of Plant Technology Division, Dr. Colin Baus, gave a presentation at 10th anniversary meeting for KSETA in Berlin
Kyoto Fusioneering Head of Plant Technology was invited to give a talk at the Symposium celebrating 10 years of the Karlsruhe School of Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA). His presentation offered insights about the fusion reactor development of private companies. Read More
Kyoto Fusioneering visited Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and its re-launch of MaPLE facility
At the labs of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, a newly refurbished research facility was inaugurated on 14 October 2022. The Magnetohydro-dynamic PbLi Experiment or MaPLE will investigate magneto-hydrodynamic effects in a liquid metal flowing in magnetic, temperature, and gravity fields. Vice President, Kiyoshi Seko, and KF team paid a visit to the facility.
Electronic descriptors for vacancy formation and hydrogen solution in Be-rich intermetallics
Read the results of the research paper of Kyoto Fusioneering co -researched by Dr. Keisuke Mukai about "Electronic descriptors for vacancy formation and hydrogen solution in Be-rich intermetallics". Read More
Kyoto Fusioneering working on FLiBe purification
At Kyoto Fusioneering, molten salt FLiBe is made with two parts Lif (white powder) and one part BeF₂ (chunks) in order to decrease it's melting point to about 459°C. The process of cleaning (purification) is complex and few people ever tried it. The salt is heated to remove water and dangerous HF gas is bubbled through the liquid to remove metal oxides. In collaboration with Kyoto University, this innovative process is done under the glove box to protect our fusioneers from beryllium dust and the HF gas.
