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.

Non-linear failure analysis of HCPB Test Blanket Module
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2012Abstract For the European Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB-TBM) the reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) steel EUROFER 97 is selected as a structural material. During operation the TBM will be subjected to complex thermo-mechanical loadings which yield at certain positions of the structure to stresses beyond the design ...

Nuclear performance analyses for HCPB test blanket modules in ITER
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2007Neutronic, shielding and activation analyses have been performed for recent design variants of the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) test blanket module (TBM) in ITER on the basis of 3D Monte Carlo calculations. The main objective has been to assess and optimise the nuclear performance of the HCPB test blanket modules in terms of the tritium generation ...

Analysis of three LOCAs for the European HCPB test blanket system
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2007Three LOCA sequences have been analysed in the frame of the safety assessment of the European helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB) test blanket module (TBM) system. These three sequences have been selected as representative of accidents judged to cover all scenarios envisaged in the design basis involving the TBMs. The three groups of accidents investigated

Test Strategy for the European HCPB Test Blanket Module in ITER
Fusion Science and Technology, 2005According to the European Blanket Programme two blanket concepts, the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) and a Helium Cooled Lithium Lead (HCLL) will be tested in ITER. During 2004 the test blanket modules (TBM) of both concepts were redesigned with the goal to use as much as possible similar design options and fabrication techniques for both types in ...

Preliminary engineering assessment of the HCLL and HCPB Neutron Activation System
2015 4th International Conference on Advancements in Nuclear Instrumentation Measurement Methods and their Applications (ANIMMA), 2015The Neutron Activation System (NAS) is one of the four types of neutronics sensors considered for the testing of the HCLL and HCPB Test Blanket Module (TBM) in ITER. It measures the absolute neutron flux intensity with information on the neutron spectrum in selected positions of the TBM.

Integration of the EU HCPB Test Blanket Module system in ITER
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2006The integration of the HCPB Test Blanket Module (TBM) systems into ITER has been investigated with the aim to check the compatibility between the considered systems and ITER. In particular the requirement of a simple and quick TBM replacement is considered in this paper.
