Abstract

In nuclear fusion reactor, Tritium Breeder Blanket has three functions such as the shielding of fusion neutron, the extraction of high quality heat for electrical power generation, and the production of fuel tritium. So, the blanket is a key equipment and technology for fusion power plant. In this paper, the outline of the tritium breeder blanket is mentioned. And TBM program implemented by Japan Domestic Agency within the ITER project and its current status are also introduced.
