CFD Analysis and Optimization of the DEMO WCLL Central Outboard Segment Bottom-Cap Elementary Cell

Journal of Nuclear Engineering, 2022
In the design of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion power plants, the breeding blanket (BB) plays a crucial role since it must fulfil key functions such as tritium breeding, radiation-shielding, and removal of the heat power generated by the plasma. The

Design and optimization of the secondary circuit for the WCLL BB option of the EU-DEMO power plant

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract EU-DEMO will be a DEMOnstration Fusion power plant designed to demonstrate production of grid electricity from fusion at the level of a few hundred MW. The Primary Heat Transfer System (PHTS) transfers heat from the breeding blanket (BB), divertor and vacuum vessel to the secondary Power Conversion System (PCS) responsible for conversion of ...

CFD analysis of WCLL BB PbLi manifold

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract ENEA CR Brasimone has developed the new design of the Water Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB). In the new design Breeding Zone (BZ) water coolant flows in radial-toroidal direction, and PbLi flows in radial-poloidal direction; a gap between the Back Plate (BP) and the BZ constitutes the PbLi inlet manifold.

Analysis of Test D1.1 of the LIFUS5/Mod3 facility for In-box LOCA in WCLL-BB

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract The in-box Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) scenario is considered as one of the most affecting safety concerns for the Water-Cooled Lead Lithium Breeding Blanket (WCLL-BB) modules of the DEMOnstration (DEMO) reactor, which is sequentially followed by a multi-phase multi-component physical and chemical interaction.

The Design of Water Loop Facility for Supporting the WCLL Breeding Blanket Technology and Safety

Energies, 2023
The WCLL Breeding Blanket of DEMO and the Test Blanket Module (TBM) of ITER require accurate R&D activities, i.e., concept validation at a relevant scale and safety demonstrations. In view of this, the strategic objective of the Water Loop (WL) facility,
