Long-term corrosion behavior of ODS-Eurofer in flowing Pb-15.7Li at 550°C

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2016
Low activation ferritic-martensitic steels (RAFM-steels) are foreseen as structural materials in different blanket designs (HCLL, DCLL, WCLL) with Pb-15.7Li as breeding and partly also as cooling medium.

Transient analysis of a locked rotor/shaft seizure accident involving the EU-DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket primary cooling circuits

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2022
The EU-DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) Breeding Blanket (BB) main subsystems to be cooled are the Breeder Zone (BZ) and the First Wall (FW). Each subsystem will be equipped with an independent Primary Heat Transfer System (PHTS). Within the framework of the EUROfusion Work Package Breeding Blanket research program, several accidents belonging to ...

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

open access: yesFusion 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 ...
