Supporting analysis for WCLL test blanket system safety

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract The Water-Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket is one of the most promising concepts to be used as a key component in fusion power devices. It provides tritium breeding and nuclear power conversion and extraction. Before its integration in a DEMO plant, a testing phase is required to gain data on both thermal and neutronic performances.
