3D Transient CFD Simulation of an In-Vessel Loss-of-Coolant Accident in the EU DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket

Energies, 2023
The in-vessel Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) is one of the design basis accidents in the design of the EU DEMO tokamak fusion reactor. System-level codes are typically employed to analyse the evolution of these transients.

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.

Magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the WCLL breeding blanket with helical cooling pipes

Fusion Engineering and Design
The Water-Cooled Lead Lithium (WCLL) is a Breeding Blanket (BB) concept presently in the development phase for implementation in the DEMO fusion reactor demonstrator. The Lead lithium eutectic alloy (PbLi) breeder is moved at a slow velocity to diminish Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) pressure losses.

Activated corrosion product contamination assessments of DEMO WCLL breeding blanket primary heat transport system [PDF]

Fusion Engineering and Design
In water-cooled fusion reactors, the assessment of the primary system contamination is essential for waste management, machine availability, occupational radiation exposure, and radiological hazard determination. The primary cooling water is not only directly activated by the intense neutron field but is a contamination vector for a significant variety
