Fission Reactor Experiments for Solid Breeder Blankets

Fusion Technology, 1986
Solid breeder blanket testing needs have been characterized in the FINESSE study. These testing needs have unique characteristics, especially in comparison to liquid breeder blankets. First, there are a large number of potential breeder materials and material variables. Secondly, the influence of radiation on the primary uncertainties is large, but the

Engineering Scaling Requirements for Solid Breeder Blanket Testing

Fusion Science and Technology, 2005
An engineering scaling process is applied to the solid breeder ITER TBM designs in accordance with the testing objectives of validating the design tools and the database, and evaluating blanket performance under prototypical operating conditions. The goal of scaling is to ensure that changes in structural response and performance caused by changes in ...

Ceramic sphere-pac breeder design for fusion blankets

Fusion Engineering and Design, 1991
Abstract Randomly packed beds of ceramic spheres are a practical approach to surrounding fusion plasmas with tritium-breeding material. This paper examines the general properties of sphere-pac beds for application in fusion breeder blankets. The design considerations and models are reviewed for packing, tritium breeding and recovery, thermal ...

Water-Cooled Solid-Breeder Blanket Concept for ITER

Fusion Technology, 1989
A water cooled solid-breeder blanket concept was developed for ITER. The main function of this blanket is to produce the necessary tritium for the ITER operation. Several design features are incorporated in this blanket concept to increase its attractiveness. The main features are the following: (a) a multilayer concept which reduces fabrication cost; (

Denaturing Generated Pu in Fast Breeder Reactor Blanket

Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 2010
Protected Pu production (P3) is a recently developed concept to enhance the proliferation resistance properties of Pu by increasing the fraction of even-mass-number Pu isotopes thus leading to the denaturing of Pu. The present paper deals with the possibility of denaturing Pu by consideration of Pu and minor actinides (MAs) multicycling in medium-size ...
