Development of fusion blanket technology for the DEMO reactor

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2012
The viability of various materials and blanket designs for use in nuclear fusion reactors can be tested using computer simulations and as parts of the test blanket modules within the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) facility. The work presented here focuses on blanket model simulations using the Monte Carlo simulation package ...

Breeding blanket concepts for fusion and materials requirements

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2002
This paper summarizes the design and performances of recent breeding blanket concepts and identifies the key material issues associated with them. An assessment of different classes of concepts is carried out by balancing out the potential performance of the concepts with the risk associated with the required material development.

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 ...

Fusion reactors blanket nucleonics

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 1986
Abstract Nucleonic considerations of fusion reactor blankets design are reviewed, and blanket design approaches are illustrated. Non-nuclear blanket design considerations are only briefly reviewed. The review concentrates on blankets for D-T fusion power reactors but considers also blankets for fusion power reactors based on D-D fusion, as well as ...

Fusion blankets-a comparative study

Journal of Fusion Energy, 1985
The Argonne National Laboratory conducted a study to develop a technically based rationale where an RandD program can be conducted. First, the development of a viable blanket for fusion is in itself a major feasibility issue, not just an engineering task.

Aspects of Fusion Reactor Blankets

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992
<div class="htmlview paragraph"><i>The blanket is the medium that allows the heat energy to be extracted from the fusion reactor as well as the breeding of tritium to be used in fuelling the plasma. The difficulty encountered in the design of this component lies in the inherent requirement not just to multiply and moderate the incoming ...

Development of advanced blanket materials for a solid breeder blanket of a fusion reactor

Nuclear Fusion, 2003
The design of an advanced solid breeding blanket in a DEMO reactor requires a tritium breeder and a neutron multiplier that can withstand high temperatures and high neutron fluences, and the development of such advanced blanket materials has been carried out by collaboration between JAERI, universities and industries in Japan.
