KIT – University of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and National Research Center of the Helmholtz Association Improved Fusion Reactor Designs as per Integration of Advanced Physics and Technology Systems Code Modules At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology a new modelling activity has been recently launched aiming to develop advanced models for fusion reactors systems codes, focusing on the main technology areas such as neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, electromagnetics, structural mechanics, fuel cycle and vacuum systems. Moreover, in order to prove the plant design so obtained from the physics standpoint, two important physics submodules were added and adapted to the project: the TREND and the TOKES codes, developed at Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics Garching and KIT respectively. In this study the applied methodology is briefly described and the numerical results related to some improved reactor designs (e.g. based on current DEMO proposal) are reported and discussed. The main goal is to show the impact of accuracy and assumptions of the implemented models on main reactor’s parameters. F. Franzaa, L.V. Boccaccinia, P.V. Gadea, I.S. Landmana, S. Pestchanyia, H.
