Description of the project
The E4XTREM project falls under Thematic Priority 1 established in the TRANSMISIONES 2024 Programme: “Boosting the development of a Spanish fusion industry: advancing technologies that pave the way toward fusion.”
The project focuses primarily on Breeding Blanket technologies and on the development of auxiliary facilities with advanced testing capabilities, enabling Spanish industry to contribute high-value innovation to the development of fusion devices.
E4XTREM addresses novel, high-impact challenges. Its key ideas and primary objectives include:
- Construction of a pilot facility capable of hosting prototypes of various kinds: FASTER (Facility to Support Tritium Breeding Technology Experimental Research). This installation will enable the testing and functional validation of critical systems and components for future fusion reactors (from TRL0 to TRL4).
- Design of an irradiation module for IFMIF-DONES to test Breeding Blanket technologies (TRL2 to TRL3).
- Construction of a simplified prototype (test module) of a breeding system (BB/TBM type or irradiation module) to be tested in FASTER (TRL0 to TRL4).
- Development of new coatings for fusion environments (TRL3 to TRL4).
