Simplified calculations of tritium production in a lithium-lead blanket for a fusion reactor'

, 1990
The tritium production rate in a DEMO fusion-reactor blanket with Li17Pb83 liquid breeder has been calculated. Tritium production in a blanket is the result of many material and geometric characteristics of the machine; some of these have been optimized,

Optimized Water Distillation Layout for Detritiation Purpose

Applied Sciences
Tritium permeation constitutes a key issue for the future EU-DEMO, especially in the Breeding Blanket (BB) where fusion energy must be delivered to the Primary Heat Transport System (PHTS) and where tritium must be bred.

Physics of tritium breeding as a geometric programming problem [PDF]

, 1977
Tritium breeding in a fusion-fission tokamak reactor is optimized by the technique of geometric programming. The neutronic processes are represented as an objective function found by fitting a generalized quadratic function of the zone widths to the ...

ParaStell: parametric modeling and neutronics support for stellarator fusion power plants

Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering
The three-dimensional variation inherent to stellarator geometries and fusion sources motivates three-dimensional modeling to obtain accurate results from computational modeling in support of design and analysis of first wall, blanket, and shield (FWBS ...

Design of tritium breeding experiments for the tokamak fusion test reactor [PDF]

, 1981
Among intense fusion-neutron generators of the 1980's, the unique features of the TFTR are a geometrically extended D-T fusion-neutron source and a neutron spectrum, including backscattered neutrons, characteristic of a practical toroidal fusion reactor.

Accident-tolerant hybrid ceramics for fusion breeding blanket

Materials & Design
In a water-cooled ceramic breeding blanket for fusion reactors, hydrogen gas generation by steam oxidation of metallic Be compounds (i.e. neutron multiplier) in a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) raises major safety concerns.
