Volume 9, December 2016, Pages 278–285 Engineering validation for lithium target facility of the IFMIF under IFMIF/EVEDA projecta b c d e f g h i j k Available online 3 June 2016•The major progress of engineering validation activities in the IFMIF/EVEDA project joined by Japan and the EU was a verification of long-term stability of high-speed liquid lithium target flowing for fusion neutron source.•Successful completion and achievement exceeding the goal of the full scale test of the high-speed liquid lithium flow for the fusion neutron source under the Broader Approach Activities aiming at the early realization of fusion energy jointly developed by Japan and the EU.•The verification of the long-term stability of over the 1300 h high-speed liquid lithium target flow beyond the goal of 1000 h, using the test facility having the world's highest flow rate, and the verification of lithium purification and safety and the remote handling technique using fiber laser for the welding and cutting of the
pipes were also performed.The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), presently in the Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) phase was started from 2007 under the frame of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement. In the activities, a prototype Li loop with the world's highest flow rate of 3000 L/min was constructed in 2010, and it succeeded in generating a 100 mm wide and 25 mm thick with a free-surface lithium flow along a concave back plate steadily at a high-speed of 15 m/s at 250 °C for 1300 h. In the demonstration operation it was needed to develop the Li flowing measurement system with precious resolution less than 0.1 mm, and a new wave height measuring method which is laser-probe method was developed for measurements of the 3D geometry of the liquid Li target surface. Using the device, the stability of the variation in the Li flowing thickness which is required in the IFMIF specification was ± 1 mm or less as the liquid Li target, and the result was satisfied with it and the feasibility of the long-term stable liquid Li flow was also verified.
The results of the other engineering validation tests such as lithium purification tests of lithium target facility have also been evaluated and summarized.Keywords; ; ; ; ; 1. IntroductionIn parallel to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program, the Broader Approach (BA) activities [1] ; [2] are being implemented by the European Union (EU) and Japan (JA), aiming at the early realization of the fusion energy. The BA activities comprise the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility/Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (IFMIF/EVEDA) [3] ; [4], the International Fusion Energy Research Center (IFERC) [5], and the Satellite Tokamak [6] started from 2007 in the joint program.Free Shipping On Your Next Purchase Of $49+ When You Sign Up For EmailDetails: Buy online and return core parts to the store to be refunded the price.

Once your toddler outgrows a portable crib or pack n’ play, what do you do with them when you travel? The answer is, bring along a toddler travel bed. Portable toddler beds are great for travel! Bringing your own bedding for your toddler will save you money and make travelling with your kids easier. As a mom who travels full-time with two kids, I know.

It’s not common to find hotel rooms with two double or queen beds outside of the US.
This means you really need a kids travel bed once your child is too big for a portacrib. It’s hard to find a travel crib that is big enough for a toddler. Our almost-two year old daughter is almost too long for the standard Graco Pack n’ Play travel crib. We’re excited to upgrade her to her own inflatable travel bed. It’s going to make things a lot easier for us too. No heavy portacrib to carry anymore! Here are the best travel beds for kids on the market at the moment. Read through the options and see which works best for your child and travel style. is a popular option. It’s lightweight, packs into a carry bag and inflates in under 5 minutes. It’s also phthalate-safe, BpA-safe and lead-safe. The Shrunks bed has slighlty raised sides to prevent your toddler rolling off in the night (which can be a problem with other inflatable beds). You have to or use your own sheets. We’ve never had a problem requesting extra bedding from hotels to use on our toddler bed.
Comes with electric pump. Weight: 7.8 pounds / 3.5 kilograms Price: Check prices and purchase here. The Intex Kidz Travel Bed with Hand Pump is great for little kids because it has sides that go all the way around. This makes it the perfect transition from travel crib to travel bed! The mattress is separate from the frame so you can safely tuck sheets in. Comes with a carry bag for storage. We travelled around Hawaii with this bed and it was great! You can see Hazel lounging in this bed in the pictures at the start and end of this post. For sleeping we add a twin bed sheet, a pillow and a soft fleece blanket. (We travel with the blanket and get the hotel to provide us a sheet and pillow.)Comes with hand pump.

The Junior Ready Bed is similar but doesn’t have the bumper. What we love about this travel bed for toddlers is that it comes with a built in sleeping bag and the pillow area is slightly inflated.

It folds up, like a camping chair. It’s still lightweight but less packable than an inflatable bed. For this reason, I think it’s more suitable for road trips or camping when you can put it in the back of the car, rather than travel by air when you’d require fitting it into a suitcase with other items. The Regalo My Cot comes with a carry bag and a fitted sleeping sheet that is washable. Weight: 6.2 pounds / 2.8 kilograms The Leachco BumpZZZ Travel Bed is a soft folding bed with bumpers all the way around the sides. It comes with a carry bag. The center pad is removable for washing. This bed takes up a lot of space and therefore I wouldn’t recommend it for air travel. It would work for sleepovers at the grandparents, road trips or camping. It’s also much more expensive than the other beds in this review.
Weight: 11.8 pounds / 5.3 kilograms PeaPod Plus Infant Travel Bed Not just for infants, the PeaPod Plus Infant Travel Bed is big enough for toddlers to use.

The tent aspects means your child has a dedicated sleeping space. There is a sleeping pad at the bottom of the tent which provides some cushioning for your child to sleep on but doesn’t compare to the comfort of an inflatable bed.
