Conceptual Design of the Steam Generators for the EU DEMO WCLL Reactor

Energies, 2023
In the framework of the EUROfusion Horizon Europe Programme, ENEA and its linked third parties are in charge of the conceptual design of the steam generators belonging to EU DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket Primary Heat Transfer Systems (BB PHTSs). In particular, in 2021, design activities and supporting numerical simulations were carried out in order to ...

The Design of Water Loop Facility for Supporting the WCLL Breeding Blanket Technology and Safety

Energies, 2023
The WCLL Breeding Blanket of DEMO and the Test Blanket Module (TBM) of ITER require accurate R&D activities, i.e., concept validation at a relevant scale and safety demonstrations. In view of this, the strategic objective of the Water Loop (WL) facility, belonging to the W-HYDRA experimental platform planned at C.R.

Embrittlement of WCLL blanket and its fracture mechanical assessment

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Abstract In the European fusion programme, the Water Cooled Lithium Lead breeding blanket (WCLL BB) uses EUROFER as a structural material cooled with water at temperatures between 295 °C–328 °C and a pressure of 155 bar. The WCLL BB will be significantly irradiated (>2 dpa), while some parts will not receive significant heat loads, e ...

Advancements in DEMO WCLL breeding blanket design and integration

International Journal of Energy Research, 2018
The water-cooled lithium–lead breeding blanket is a candidate option for the European Demonstration Power Plant(DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This breeding blanket concept relies on the liquid lithium– lead as breeder–multiplier,pressurized water as coolant, and EUROFER as structural material.
