CFD simulation of the magnetohydrodynamic flow inside the WCLL breeding blanket module

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract The interaction between the molten metal and the plasma-containing magnetic field in the breeding blanket causes the onset of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. To properly design the blanket, it is important to quantify how and how much the flow features are modified compared with an ordinary hydrodynamic flow.

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 novel approach to the study of magnetohydrodynamic effect on tritium transport in WCLL breeding blanket of DEMO

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract The Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) breeding blanket is one of the European blanket designs proposed for DEMO reactor. Tritium can permeate into the different structural materials, arising potential issues concerning the fuel self-sufficiency and can be lost into the environment with consequent radiological hazard for the population. Within

Parametric study of the influence of double-walled tubes layout on the DEMO WCLL breeding blanket thermal performances

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract Within the framework of the EUROfusion activities regarding the EU-DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) concept, the University of Palermo is long-time involved, in close cooperation with ENEA, in the design of the Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) BB, that is one of the two concepts under consideration for the DEMO reactor.

Advancements in DEMO WCLL breeding blanket design and integration

International Journal of Energy Research, 2017
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.
