Tritium transport model at the minimal functional unit level for HCLL and WCLL breeding blankets of DEMO [PDF]

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract The Helium-Cooled Lithium-Lead (HCLL) and Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) Breeding Blankets are two of the four European blanket designs proposed for the DEMO reactor. A tritium transport model inside the blanket is fundamental to assess its preliminary design and safety features. Tritium transport and permeation are complex phenomena to be

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

Thermo-hydraulic analysis of EU DEMO WCLL breeding blanket

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract In the frame of EUROfusion Work Package Breeding Blanket, thermal-hydraulic engineering analyses were carried out at ENEA Brasimone, in close cooperation with Sapienza University of Rome, to investigate thermal and fluid-dynamic behavior of the Water Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket, which is a candidate option for the European DEMO ...

Embrittlement of WCLL blanket and its fracture mechanical assessment [PDF]

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
In the European fusion programme, the Water Cooled Lithium Lead breeding blanket (WCLL BB) uses EUROFER as a structural material cooled with water at temperatures between 295 °C–328 °C and a pressure of 155 bar.

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 ...

Study of EU DEMO WCLL breeding blanket and primary heat transfer system integration

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract The Water-Cooled Lithium Lead breeding blanket is a candidate option for the realization of European DEMO power plant. One of the main functions of the breeding blanket is to recover the thermal power from the first wall and the breeding zone and to drive it to the Primary Heat Transfer System.

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 ...

European DEMO Fusion Reactor: Design and Integration of the Breeding Blanket Feeding Pipes [PDF]

Energies, 2023
This article describes the design and configuration of the DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) feeding pipes inside the upper port. As large BB segments require periodic replacement via the upper vertical ports, the space inside the upper port needs to be ...
