Shielding Design Optimization of the Helium-Cooled Pebble Bed Breeding Blanket for the EU DEMO Fusion Reactor

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
The helium-cooled pebble bed (HCPB) breeding blanket (BB) is one of the two driver-blanket candidates for the European DEMO fusion reactor. Recent design activities were focused, among other objectives, on the achievement of an efficient shielding system

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 ...
