The breeding blanket consists of a set of modules covering the interior of the fusion reactor vessel, capable of supporting a high heat load and an intense neutron flux. Its main purpose is threefold:
# to assure self-sufficiency of the fusion reactor with regard to tritium (by producing, from lithium, at least the same amount of tritium as that which is consumed in the plasma),
# to maximise the net efficiency of the power plant (by assuring the highest possible temperature of the coolant), and
# to act as a radiation barrier (such that the components behind the breeding blanket receive the lowest amount of radiation possible).

Currently, Europe is developing two alternative concepts for the breeding blanket of [[DEMO]], both based on helium cooling, which must be tested in experiments to be performed at [[ITER]]. One is based on liquid metal, and the other on the use of Li and Be ceramics (acting as neutron multipliers) in the shape of small spheres.
