Nuclear Fusion Energy

Gasroad conducted the basic conceptual design (December 2023 - March 2025) of a breeding blanket safety
test facility for development of core engineering technologies for nuclear fusion energy, as part of the
“Research on Design Concepts and Basic Technologies for a Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Plant”
project by the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE).

Conceptual design of testing facility for breeding blanket safety

The goal of producing nuclear fusion energy, which has the same principle as solar energy, here on the Earth is one of the most challenging scientific and technological assignments facing humanity in the 21st century. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), currently under construction in France, involves seven countries, including South Korea.
Gasroad conducted a basic design from December 2023 to March 2025 for the construction of a laboratory that tests development of breeding blanket, a core technology for commercializing nuclear fusion. This technology is essential for energy conversion, tritium production and neutron shielding to achieve self-sufficiency of tritium within the fusion reactor.
This demonstrates Gasroad's high level of technology and competitiveness in the largest international joint research and development project in history. Through this project, the company is striving to contribute to the development of nuclear fusion energy technology, which is considered a fundamental solution to the energy shortages and environmental problems humanity faces.
