TECNO_FUS is a Programme financed by the Spanish Government (by means of a Consolider grant by [http://www.micinn.es/ MICINN], Ref. CSD2008-079) and oriented towards the development of technologies associated with the [[Breeding Blanket]] of future fusion power plants.  
TECNO_FUS is a Programme financed by the Spanish Government (by means of a Consolider grant by [http://www.micinn.es/ MICINN], Ref. CSD2008-079) and oriented towards the development of technologies associated with the [[Breeding blanket]] of future fusion power plants.  


The purpose of the breeding blanket is twofold: to extract the energy generated in the power reactor, and to convert Lithium into Tritium.

Associated techniques involve neutron detection, the development of materials (Eurofer steel, ceramics, SiC or composite SiCf/SiC), the management of liquid metals in strong magnetic fields, and thermomechanical calculations in complex geometries. The first design of a dual coolant, dual functionality model is not original of TECNO_FUS, what is original is the development of the so called DRM design (Spanish for "Doble Refrigerante Modular") He/LiPb.
