Overview of Thermal Hydraulic Optimization and Verification for the EU-DEMO HCPB BOP ICD Variant

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
When progressing from the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) to the Demonstration Fusion Reactor (DEMO), a system for transferring plasma heat exhaust to a power conversion system is necessary for the so-called Balance of Plant (BOP).

Role of ventilation on the transmission of viruses in buildings, from a single zone to a multizone approach

open access: yesIndoor Air, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract In a virus pandemic context, buildings ventilation has been recognized as a solution for preventing transmission of the virus in aerosolized form. The impact of the widespread recommendation of window opening and sealing door on ventilation circuits needs to be considered with a multizone approach.

Heterogeneous design and mechanical analysis of HELIAS 5‐B helium‐cooled pebble bed breeding blanket concept

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 2748-2770, 10 March 2022., 2022
Summary One of the most challenging objectives of the European research concerning nuclear fusion technology, promoted by the EUROfusion consortium, is to bring stellarator‐type nuclear fusion devices to maturity. To this purpose, studies on a large HELIcal‐axis advanced stellarator (HELIAS), extrapolated from Wendelstein 7‐X and based on a 5‐fold ...
