Recent Progress in the WCLL Breeding Blanket Design for the DEMO Fusion Reactor
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2018 The water-cooled lithium-lead (PbLi) breeding blanket is one of the candidate systems considered for the implementation in the European Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This concept employs PbLi liquid metal as tritium breeder and neutron multiplier, water pressurized at 15.5 MPa as the coolant, and EUROFER as the structural ...

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 ...

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.
