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

Recent Progress in the WCLL Breeding Blanket Design for the DEMO Fusion Reactor
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2018 The water-cooled lithium-lead (PbLi) breeding blanket is one of the candidate systems considered for the implementation in the European Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This concept employs PbLi liquid metal as tritium breeder and neutron multiplier, water pressurized at 15.5 MPa as the coolant, and EUROFER as the structural ...
