Dynamic thermal-hydraulic modelling of the EU DEMO WCLL breeding blanket cooling loops

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
A global thermal-hydraulic model of the EU DEMO tokamak, based on an object-oriented approach using the Modelica language, is currently under development at Politecnico di Torino. The first module of the global model will simulate the dynamics of the blanket cooling system and it will be able to investigate different coolant options and different ...

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 ...

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.

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,

Main Nuclear Responses of the DEMO Tokamak with Different In-Vessel Component Configurations

Applied Sciences
Research and development of the DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO) breeder blanket (BB) has been performed in recent years based on a predefined DEMO tritium breeding ratio (TBR) requirement, which determines a loss of wall surface due to non-breeding in ...
