Simulation Framework for Closed-Loop Aqueous Fuel Breeding and Desalination Integration in Advanced Fusion Systems

This repository contains proprietary systems architecture models and simulation frameworks developed by AuroraNova Energies LLC. The model evaluates the thermodynamic and chemical viability of a fully integrated, closed-loop secondary system for fusion energy applications. Specifically, the framework models the fluid dynamics and chemical exchange processes required to source fusion fuel indirectly from municipal or industrial desalination infrastructure. It includes modular evaluations of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) applied to hypersaline effluent, coupled with an Aqueous Lithium Salt Blanket (ALSB) for continuous neutron absorption and fuel breeding. Finally, the model incorporates parameters for downstream isotopic separation (such as Combined Electrolysis and Catalytic Exchange) to isolate the bred fuel for re-injection into the primary plasma core. The purpose of this model is to demonstrate the theoretical elimination of external lithium mining footprints, toxic metallurgical breeding requirements, and hypersaline marine discharge from the fusion fuel cycle. Note: Access to the underlying code, mathematical constraints, and specific sorbent-yield parameters is currently restricted due to pending intellectual property protections.
