Calculating the 3D magnetic field of ITER for European TBM studies

, 2015
The magnetic perturbation due to the ferromagnetic test blanket modules (TBMs) may deteriorate fast ion confinement in ITER. This effect must be quantified by numerical studies in 3D.

Analysis of a segmentation approach to breeder blanket design and the utilisation of FLiBe as a novel neutron reflector

Nuclear Fusion
Tritium production in a fusion reactor is essential for a deuterium-tritium burning plasma source, and designing a lithium-containing breeder blanket is crucial for a closed fuel cycle in an electricity-to-grid power plant.

Garnet-type lithium sensors for the monitoring and control of Pb-Li alloys in tritium breeding modules

Nuclear Materials and Energy
During the EU-DEMO conceptualization, eutectic Pb-Li was considered as the prime candidate liquid breeding material. Nonetheless, the conversion of lithium into tritium through the breeding reaction will result in a decrease in the lithium concentration ...

Tritium breeding and activation in the cascade reactor [PDF]

, 1983
Cascade is an inertial fusion reactor that uses circulating Li/sub 2/O pellets as a coolant and tritium breeding medium. The pellets flow through a horizontal rotating vessel, and they are held against the vessel wall by centrifugal force. Three wall designs were considered: a steel shell and a SiC shell prestressed by Al or steel cables.
