Title: Xuebin MA and Solid Lithium-Lead Blanket Technology

Introduction

Xuebin MA is an inventor associated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei, China. His patent work includes a fusion-reactor blanket design that uses solid lithium-lead alloy to support neutron multiplication and tritium breeding.

Latest Patents

The patent “Solid lithium-lead blanket for fusion reactor” describes placing solid lithium-lead alloy in a unitary or binary pebble bed within a structural-material skeleton. A coolant removes heat deposited in the alloy through interactions with fusion neutrons, while purge gas flowing through the pebble bed carries tritium out of the reactor.

The design uses a low proportion of lead so the alloy remains solid during normal operation and accident conditions. It is intended to support tritium self-sufficiency without requiring beryllium to meet tritium-breeding requirements. MA is associated with 1 patent in the information provided.
