Test Series D experimental results for SIMMER code validation of WCLL BB in-box LOCA in LIFUS5/Mod3 facility

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract The in-box LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident) is a relevant safety issue for the design of the WCLL BB. Research activities are ongoing to master phenomena and processes occurring during the postulated accident, to enhance the predictive capability and reliability of numerical tools, and to validate computer models, codes and procedures for ...

Recent progress in developing a feasible and integrated conceptual design of the WCLL BB in EUROfusion project [PDF]

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract The water-cooled lithium-lead breeding blanket is in the pre-conceptual design phase. It is a candidate option for European 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.
