Magneto-convective effect on tritium transport at breeder unit level for the WCLL breeding blanket of DEMO

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract The Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) is one of the four breeding blanket concepts proposed by Europe in view of its DEMO reactor. The velocity field of the electrically conducting lead-lithium eutectic alloy inside the blanket is strongly influenced by the external magnetic field used for plasma confinement combined with buoyancy effect.

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.

Helical-shaped double wall tubes solution for the breeding zone cooling in the WCLL breeding blanket

Fusion Engineering and Design
One of the two most promising Breeding Blanket (BB) concepts to be chosen as driver design of the EU-DEMO fusion reactor is the Water-Cooled Lead Lithium (WCLL) BB. A crucial point of this key component is the cooling of the BB structural elements and of the Lithium-Lead alloy, used as neutronic multiplier and Tritium breeder.

A complete EM analysis of DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket segments during VDE-up

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract Considerable effort is made within the EUROfusion consortium to analyse the electromagnetic (EM) loads that act on the in-vessel components of DEMO during normal and off-normal operations. These loads are important, often design driving, inputs for the structural assessment of such components. With regard to the Breeding Blanket (BB) project,

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.
