Development of anti-permeation and corrosion barrier coatings for the WCLL breeding blanket of the European DEMO

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract Tritium permeation from breeder material to the Water Coolant System (WCS) in Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the technological issues to be solved in the design of the European DEMO. Since the tritium extraction from the Water Coolant System is more challenging and expensive than the extraction from the ...

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

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 ...

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.
