Preliminary safety studies for the DEMO HCPB blanket concept

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2015
Abstract Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) blanket concept is one of the DEMO (Demonstration Power Plant) blanket concepts running for the final design selection. Concept relevant safety needs to be addressed at the early stage of the design. In this paper the preliminary safety studies for the current concept have been performed with respect to the ...

Preliminary evaluation of decay heat in a HCPB DEMO fusion reactor [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Nuclear Science and Technology, 2014
*In previous studies, energy generation in a fusion DEMO reactor was estimated by accounting for prompt heat production only, neglecting the decay heat generated from the decay of radioactive isotopes. In this work, based on a helium-cooled pebble bed (HCPB) ceramic blanket which is one of the European DEMO concepts, the decay heat generated in ...
