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.
