A new HCPB breeding blanket for the EU DEMO: Evolution, rationale and preliminary performances
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017 Abstract The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the 4 BB concepts being investigated in the EU for their possible implementation in DEMO. During 2014 the former “beer-box” BB concept based on the ITER’s HCPB Test Blanket Module suffered several design changes so as to meet the different counteracting nuclear ...

Tritium analysis for the european HCPB TBM in ITER
21st IEEE/NPS Symposium on Fusion Engineering SOFE 05, 2005Tritium inventory and permeation are important data for a breeding blanket of a fusion reactor. For the HCPB TBM in ITER a first attempt has been done to calculate these data at the design stage using available analysis tools.

Helium loop for the HCPB Test Blanket Module
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2007The primary loop for the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB-TBM) has been investigated with regard to layout definition, selection and dimensioning of components including piping and mechanical integration of the circuit into the different sections of ITER.

The first HEBLO experiments based on the EU HCPB blanket concept
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2001The out-of-pile HEBLO experiments for thermomechanical loads on a small-scale test section based on the EU HCPB blanket concept were planned and realized. The first experiment series under steady-state conditions was accomplished successfully. The results of 2D simulation calculations show good agreements between calculated and measured temperatures ...

Calibration and test of a 6LiF-diamond detector for the HCPB mock-up experiment at JET
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019 One relevant experiment selected for the DT phase at JET is the irradiation of the HCPB-TBM mock-up of ITER which will be located in front of the horizontal port of Octant-8. The neutronics performances of the HCPB-TBM will be studied through independent

Numerical benchmark of SuperMC3.2 with HCPB mock-up experiment
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019Abstract In fusion reactors, the blanket is one of the crucial components which play the key role of breeding tritium. This is necessary because there sufficient external tritium supply is not available for fusion reactors. Furthermore, blankets have to provide shielding for ex-vessel components, which are sensitive to the radiation (e.g., Toroidal ...

Tritium permeation through the first wall of the EU-HCPB blanket
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2000The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) blanket is one of the two concepts to be further developed for a European DEMO power reactor. Tritium leakage due to the permeation through the main structural materials constitutes one of the main problems of the fusion technology.

Tritium Behavior in HCPB Breeder Blanket Unit: Modeling and Experiments
Fusion Science and Technology, 2017 AbstractTritium behavior in a breeding blanket is a key design issue because of its impact on safety and fuel self-sufficiency best performance. Considering the difficulty in handling and its high cost, it is intended to prepare a simulation tool for tritium transport in the HCPB (Helium Cooled Pebble Bed) breeder blanket unit concept. The objective of
