The project focusses on accelerating the development radiation-tolerant materials for fusion energy, in collaboration with HB11 and Tokamak Energy. Specifically, we aim to understand the degradation mechanisms of the “first-wall” component, which is exposed to high energy radiation. In turn, this will (a) enable accurate life assessments of the component, and (b) inform how to optimise it material for longer-lasting fusion devices. The outcomes directly reduce the cost of energy produced by the partner’s fusion devices, help bridge the gap from TRL 3 to 6, and provide valuable inputs for techno-economic models and licensing applications. The fellowship will also enhance Australia’s prominence in the international fusion energy stage.

该项目着重于与HB11和Tokamak Energy合作加速融合能源的耐辐射耐受材料。具体而言，我们旨在了解“第一壁”组件的降解机制，该机制暴露于高能辐射。反过来，这将（a）启用组件的准确寿命评估，以及（b）信息如何优化IT材料为更持久的融合设备进行优化。结果直接降低了合作伙伴的融合设备产生的能源成本，帮助将差距从TRL 3到6弥合差距，并为技术经济模型和许可应用提供宝贵的投入。该奖学金还将在国际融合能源阶段提高澳大利亚的突出。
