Tritium is the essential fuel in D-T fusion reactions, which underpin both inertial confinement and magnetic confinement fusion concepts. Given the extremely limited natural supply, in-situ breeding is the only viable pathway to sustain commercial fusion power. Liquid blankets containing ⁶Li, such as molten salts FLiBe and FLiNaK, are particularly promising because they enable both tritium breeding and...
