Design of the WCLL BB in view of the conceptual design phase

Fusion Engineering and Design
In view of the definition of the driver blanket for the EU-DEMO fusion reactor, three Breeding Blanket (BB) concepts are being studied in the framework of EUROfusion consortium activities. In mid-2020 two of these concepts, the Water Cooled Lead-Lithium (WCLL) and the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB), were reviewed by a panel of external experts to ...

Validation of SIMMER-III code for in-box LOCA of WCLL BB: Pre-test numerical analysis of Test D1.1 in LIFUS5/Mod3 facility

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract One of the four breeding blanket concepts for European DEMO nuclear fusion reactor is the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB). The WCLL in-box LOCA (Loss Of Coolant Accident) is a major safety concern of this component, therefore transient behavior shall be investigated to support the design, to evaluate the consequences and
