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.

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.
