Structural assessment of the gripper interlock of the DEMO breeding blanket transporter

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
The maintenance of the DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) remotely is a crucial aspect in development of the DEMO power plant. It is a challenge due to the huge mass of the BB segment of about 180 tons. A new concept for the BB transporter has recently been developed.

A Model to Simulate Gas Dissolution into/through Metals and Its Application to Deuterium in a 316L Steel Chamber with Pb-Li in a Quasi-2D Geometry

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Liquid lead-lithium in eutectic proportions (Pb-Li) is a candidate material for Breeding Blankets (BBs) in future Fusion Power Plants (FPP). BB design depends on the diffusivity and Sieverts’ constant (solubility) of tritium in this alloy, but literature
