ABSTRACT: For the preparation of tritium fuel as the main and rare
fuel of reactors in the fusion reactors, the reactor blanket must be designed
so that it provides enough tritium breeding ratio. The tritium breeding ratio,
TBR, in the blanket of reactors should be greater than one, (TBR > 1), by
applying lithium blanket. The calculations for proposed parameters (td , fb , η and tp), indicate that the estimated tritium breeding ratio is
greater than one. The calculated TBR = 1.04 satisfies the tritium provision
condition.
