Water-cooled lead and ceramic breeder (WLCB) breeding blanket (BB) for the EU DEMO: Neutronic campaigns for T breeding optimization

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
A novel Breeding Blanket (BB) concept, the Water-cooled Lead and Ceramic Breeder (WLCB) BB, has been developed under the EUROfusion Programme to address key challenges identified during the Pre-Conceptwual Design (PCD) phase for the driver BB concepts ...

Investigation of the DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket Cooling Water Activation

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract Within the framework of the activities foreseen by the EUROfusion action on the cooling water activation assessment for a DEMO reactor equipped with a Water Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB), the University of Palermo is involved in the assessment of dose rates induced by the decay of nitrogen radioisotopes produced by water ...

MHD pressure drop estimate for the WCLL in-magnet PbLi loop

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract In the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) blanket, the eutectic alloy lithium-lead (PbLi) is used as tritium breeder and carrier, neutron multiplier, and heat transfer medium. The PbLi hydraulic loop section in the range of the reactor field coils, which includes the blanket and a non-negligible length of the connection pipes, is affected by ...

3D Transient CFD Simulation of an In-Vessel Loss-of-Coolant Accident in the EU DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
The in-vessel Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) is one of the design basis accidents in the design of the EU DEMO tokamak fusion reactor. System-level codes are typically employed to analyse the evolution of these transients.

Three-dimensional MHD flow and heat transfer in a channel with internal obstacle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of a liquid metal in a channel past a circular cylinder with walls of non-uniform conductivity were investigated. The applied magnetic field was transversal to the forced flow (x-direction) and coplanar with

WCLL breeding blanket design and integration for DEMO 2015: status and perspectives

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract Water-cooled lithium-lead breeding blanket is considered a candidate option for European DEMO nuclear fusion reactor. ENEA and the linked third parties have proposed and are developing a multi-module blanket segment concept based on DEMO 2015 specifications. The layout of the module is based on horizontal (i.e. radial-toroidal) water-cooling

Tritium Extraction from Lithium–Lead Eutectic Alloy: Experimental Characterization of a Permeator against Vacuum Mock-Up at 450 °C

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Tritium extraction is one of the key open issues toward the development of the WCLL BB (Water-Cooled Lithium–Lead Breeding Blanket) of EU DEMO reactors, and different technologies have been proposed to address it. Among them, the Permeator Against Vacuum
