Breeding ratio
The tritium breeding ratio compares tritium produced with tritium consumed. It must be high enough after real-world losses, downtime, extraction inefficiencies, and inventory limits.

Blanket materials
Solid lithium ceramics and liquid lead-lithium concepts offer different thermal, chemical, and maintenance tradeoffs. Neutron multipliers can improve breeding but add material and safety questions.

Inventory control
Tritium must be tracked carefully because it is radioactive, valuable, mobile, and central to plant continuity. Fuel-cycle accounting is part of the business case.
