Cylindrical breeding blankets for fusion reactors

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract Blankets with a cylindrical structure have been developed for a water-cooled ceramic breeder concept considering a pipe break inside the blanket container. Most existing studies have examined a box structure for the blanket container. Structural change from a box to a cylinder can decrease in first wall thickness while maintaining the ...

The manufacturing technologies of the European breeding blankets

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2004
In the European Union, the basic manufacturing technologies have been selected for the two reference DEMO breeding blanket concepts: the helium cooled pebble bed and the helium cooled lithium lead. These technologies have been tested in the past years on small-scale samples and mock-ups, are presently under further development, and are now being ...

Detection of Breeding Blankets Using Antineutrinos

Science and Global Security, 2016
The Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement between the United States and Russia makes arrangements for the disposal of 34 metric tons of excess weapon-grade plutonium. Under this agreement Russia plans to dispose of its excess stocks by processing the plutonium into fuel for fast breeder reactors.

High Performance Breeding Blankets for ICF Facilities

Nuclear Technology/Fusion, 1983
Discussed are the advantages of using fusion neutrons for breeding special nuclear materials and tritium. Monte Carlo calculations were used to identify both fissionable and nonfissionable materials that multiply neutrons and increase breeding ratios. Fissionable multipliers also greatly multiply the neutron energy.

Breeding blanket development for NET

Fusion Engineering and Design, 1989
Abstract The design of blankets for NET is reviewed. Three categories of blankets are discussed: non breeding shield blankets for the physics phase, tritium producing driver blankets to operate the NET machine for extended periods of time in the technology test phase, and DEMO relevant blankets, which shall demonstrate their performance as test ...

Breeding blanket for DEMO

Fusion Engineering and Design, 1993
This paper presents the main design features, their rationale, and the main critical issues for the development, of the four DEMO-relevant blanket concepts presently being investigated within the framework of the European Test-Blanket Development Programme.
