General Atomics announces breeding blanket test facility
General Atomics announced it is developing design concepts in collaboration with the Department of Energy for the Fusion Blanket Component Test Facility (BCTF), which will test full-scale breeding blankets.
“No one has tested a fusion blanket at this scale. While there are more research and development challenges ahead, a BCTF brings us closer to turning fusion from proven science into practical, sustainable power,” said Anantha Krishnan, senior vice president of the General Atomics Energy Group.

This panel highlights research supporting the design and optimization of information automation systems for nuclear power plants. Much of the nuclear industry is currently focused on modernization of plant systems, including potential introduction of advanced automation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. The introduction of novel technologies will change the nature of much of the work currently conducted at nuclear plants. Effectively integrating new technical systems with the user community is key to ensuring their effectiveness once deployed. In this panel session, we highlight progress on a program of research focused on providing the industry with tools and techniques to support effective modernization from a human-systems integration point of view, specifically with regard to information automation.
