Magneto-Convective Analyses of the PbLi Flow for the EU-WCLL Fusion Breeding Blanket [PDF]

Energies, 2021
The Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) breeding blanket is one of the driver blanket concepts under development for the European Demonstration Reactor (DEMO). The majority of the blanket volume is occupied by flowing PbLi at eutectic composition.

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,

Advancements in DEMO WCLL breeding blanket design and integration

International Journal of Energy Research, 2018
The water-cooled lithium–lead breeding blanket is a candidate option for the European Demonstration Power Plant(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.

WCLL breeding blanket design and integration for DEMO 2015: status and perspectives

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract Water-cooled lithium-lead breeding blanket is considered a candidate option for European DEMO nuclear fusion reactor. ENEA and the linked third parties have proposed and are developing a multi-module blanket segment concept based on DEMO 2015 specifications. The layout of the module is based on horizontal (i.e. radial-toroidal) water-cooling

Activities in Divertor Reflector and Linear Plates Using WCLL and HCPB Breeding Blanket Concepts [PDF]

Energies, 2021
In fusion devices, such as European Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor (EU DEMO), primary neutrons can cause material activation due to the interaction between the source particles and the targeting material.

Dynamic thermal-hydraulic modelling of the EU DEMO WCLL breeding blanket cooling loops

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
A global thermal-hydraulic model of the EU DEMO tokamak, based on an object-oriented approach using the Modelica language, is currently under development at Politecnico di Torino. The first module of the global model will simulate the dynamics of the blanket cooling system and it will be able to investigate different coolant options and different ...

Analysis of EM loads on DEMO WCLL breeding blanket during VDE-up

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract This work presents the development of a DEMO EM model based on the WCLL design able to evaluate EM loads during normal and off-normal operations. The model has the capability to use periodic boundary conditions (in order to analyze EM transients in presence of both toroidal and poloidal field) and elements supporting non-linear magnetic ...
