Multiple recycling and reuse of vanadium alloys in a fusion power plant was investigated. Required impurities to allow remote and hands-on handling to recycle the reactor components were identified. Impurities found in currently large-scale fabricated vanadium alloys were compared and discussed. Techniques to further reduce some of the undesirable impurities were identified and discussed.
