Tritium permeation issues for helium-cooled breeding blankets
Tritium permeation through Breeding Blanket and Steam Generator heat transfer areas is a crucial aspect for the design of the next generation DEMO fusion power plants. Tritium is generated inside the breeder, dissolves in and permeates through materials, thus leading to a potential hazard for the environment.

Blanket Simulation and Tritium Breeding Ratio Calculation for ITER Reactor
Journal of Fusion Energy, 2015In this study, the neutronic calculation to obtain tritium breeding ratio (TBR) in a deuterium–tritium fusion power reactor using Monte Carlo MCNPX is done. To this end Li4SiO4 was considered as the blanket module. In order to improve the distribution of power density in the blanket module, an arrangement of the neutron multiplier Be in the breeding ...

Magneto-convective effect on tritium transport at breeder unit level for the WCLL breeding blanket of DEMO [PDF]
The Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) is one of the four breeding blanket concepts proposed by Europe in view of its DEMO reactor. The velocity field of the electrically conducting lead-lithium eutectic alloy inside the blanket is strongly influenced by ...

TRITIUM BREEDING CALCULATION IN A STELLARATOR BLANKET
Problems of Atomic Science and Technology, 2019In current blanket projects, tritium breeding ratio (TBR), the ratio of tritium production rate to the neutron production rate, is low (1.1…1.2). The MCNPX Monte-Carlo code has been used to model the neutron kinetics and to look for a principal possibility of increase TBR within a stellarator blanket limited space.

Compatibility problems in tritium breeding blankets
Journal of Nuclear Materials, 1991Abstract The compatibility between tritium breeding materials (liquid or solid), neutron multiplier and structural steels is a concern for the choice of a tritium breeding blanket for NET. For solid tritium breeding blanket, it seems that the more severe compatibility problem is due to the interaction of beryllium with steel.

Tritium inventory and permeation in the ITER breeding blanket
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2000Abstract A model has allowed us to perform the analysis of the tritium inventory and permeation in the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) breeding blanket under the hypothesis of steady state conditions. Li 2 ZrO 3 (reference) and Li 2 TiO 3 (alternative) have been studied as breeding materials.

Solid breeder blanket design and tritium breeding
Fusion Engineering and Design, 1991Abstract Thermonuclear D–T power plants will have to be tritium self-sufficient. In addition to recovering the energy carried by the fusion neutrons (about 80% of the fusion energy), the blanket of the reactor will thus have to breed tritium to replace that burnt in the fusion process.
