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.
