MHD flow and heat transfer in model geometries for WCLL blankets

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract In the water cooled lead lithium (WCLL) blanket liquid lead lithium PbLi is used as breeder, neutron multiplier, and as heat transfer medium. The released heat is removed by water that flows at a pressure of 155 bar through cooling pipes immersed in the liquid-metal pool.

Preliminary RAMI analysis of WCLL blanket and breeder systems

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2015
Abstract DEMO will be a prototype fusion reactor designed to prove the capability to produce electrical power in a commercially acceptable way. One of the key factors in that endeavor is the achievement of certain level of plant availability. Therefore, RAMI (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Inspectability) will be a key element in the ...

Investigation on cooling performance of WCLL breeding blanket first wall for EU DEMO

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2019
The Breeding Blanket (BB) First Wall (FW) is the first boundary separating the fusion plasma and its energetic particles from the rest of a Tokamak. The heat load specifications at different poloidal positions are reviewed according to the maximum heat ...

An overview on tritium permeation barrier development for WCLL blanket concept

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2004
The reduction of tritium permeation through blanket structural materials and cooling tubes has to be carefully evaluated to minimise radiological hazards. A strong effort has been made in the past to select the best technological solution for the realisation of tritium permeation barriers (TPB) on complex structures not directly accessible after the

Design of an in-pile device for testing of WCLL double wall tubes

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2000
Abstract The present paper describes irradiation devices proposed by SCK CEN to test segments of water cooled lithium–lead blankets (WCLL), and in particular their double-wall tubes (DWT), under irradiation in the BR2 reactor. The purpose of the first experiment is to assess the efficiency of a tritium permeation barrier (TPB) coating at the outer ...

Neutronic design issues of the WCLL and HCPB power plant models

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2003
Abstract This work addresses neutronic design issues of the two near term reactor models of the EU Power Plant Conceptual Study (PPCS) employing the water cooled lithium lead (WCLL) and the helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB) blankets for the tritium and the power production.

Pb–17Li/water interaction in DEMO WCLL blanket: water micro-leaks

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2003
Abstract The interaction between pressurised water and liquid Pb–17Li is a topical issue for the WCLL blanket concept and needs to be studied in detail because of the potentially significant effect on the reliability and safety of the blanket. Particularly, it seems important from the design point of view to deeply investigate the consequences of ...
