This project aims to develop a novel, low activation and liquid helium-free superconducting solution with superior electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal properties for use in fusion reactors. Superconducting magnets and their associated cryogenic cooling systems represent a key determinant of thermal efficiency and the construction/operating costs of fusion reactors. The project expects to overcome these barriers so that widespread uptake of these reactors becomes viable. Outcomes from the project will include a fundamental understanding of pure and doping-induced isotopic magnesium diboride superconductors and their behaviour under high neutron flux and harsh plasma atmosphere, which are specifically designed for application in next-generation, low-cost fusion reactors.

该项目旨在开发一种新型、低活度、无液氦的超导溶液，具有优异的电磁、机械和热性能，用于聚变反应堆。超导磁体及其相关的低温冷却系统是聚变堆热效率和建造/运行成本的关键决定因素。该项目希望克服这些障碍，以便广泛采用这些反应堆成为可能。该项目的成果将包括对纯和掺杂诱导的同位素二硼化镁超导体及其在高中子通量和恶劣等离子体环境下的行为有一个基本的了解，这些超导体是专门为应用于下一代低成本聚变反应堆而设计的。
