Fusion’s Neutron Hammer: Engineering for the Future of Energy

As fusion energy nears commercial reality, engineers face a powerful adversary: neutron flux. First-gen reactors like SPARC may require annual replacement of critical components due to intense bombardment. But next-gen designs like ARC are rewriting the playbook.
ARC introduces FLiBe liquid blankets — a game-changer that:
• Shields reactor materials from neutron damage
• Breeds tritium for fuel
• Transfers heat efficiently at high temps

Yet FLiBe brings its own challenges: corrosion, tritium management, and material compatibility at ~850°C. Solutions like HELICOFLEX® TEXEAL® seals and SiC composites are pushing the boundaries of reactor design.

With ARC, Xcimer Energy, and MoltexFLEX exploring FLiBe, the fusion industry is pivoting toward durable, liquid-blanket architectures. The question now: can we engineer reactor cores to withstand their own power?

Technetics was thrilled to take part in PATRAM 2025 in San Antonio, Texas.

The PATRAM 2025 symposium (Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials) took place from July 27 to August 1 in San Antonio, TX. It is the leading international event dedicated to the safe transport of radioactive materials.

Adrien Bommenel (Energy Market), Sully Marigliano Crevecoeur (Nuclear Market) and Florent Ledrappier (Maestral R&D laboratory), proudly represented Technetics’ expertise at the event.

Florent Ledrappier presented our work: “Characterization of the Aging Behavior of HELICOFLEX TEXEAL”: a demonstration of our commitment to ensuring long-term sealing performance using state of the art femto-lasers for manufacturing.

The key message: new nuclear cannot succeed without addressing the challenges of fuel transport and packaging. If you are building a nuclear reactor, consider the whole value chain before thinking about licensing.
