Numerical analysis of extreme magnetoconvective phenomena in the WCLL blanket

, 2022
The Water-Cooled Lead-Lithium (WCLL) is one of the breeding blanket concepts currently being developed for implementation in the fusion reactor demonstrator DEMO. The liquid breeder, lead-lithium, is circulated at velocities lower than 1 mm/s to minimize

Modelling an in-vessel loss of coolant accident in the EU DEMO WCLL breeding blanket with the GETTHEM code

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
Abstract One of the accidents to be analyzed for the operation of the EU DEMO tokamak reactor is the in-vessel Loss-Of-Coolant Accident (LOCA), in which a postulated rupture in the First Wall causes a rapid pressurization of the Vacuum Vessel (VV).

Optimization of the breeder zone cooling tubes of the DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium Lead breeding blanket

, 2016
The determination of an optimal configuration for the breeder zone (BZ) cooling tubes is one of the most important issues in the DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) breeding blanket R&D activities, since BZ cooling tubes spatial distribution should ...

Implications of T loss in first wall armor and structural materials on T-self-sufficiency in future burning fusion devices

Nuclear Fusion
Future fusion reactors will have to breed enough tritium (T) to sustain continuous operation and to produce excess T to power up other fusion reactors. Therefore, T is a scarce resource that must not be lost inside the fusion power plants systems.

Breeding blanket mock-up testing in IFMIF-DONES

Nuclear Fusion
The fusion community is looking for solutions to qualify the breeding blankets (BB) before their final testing in DEMO. Thus, ambitious and attractive proposals, like the Volumetric Neutron Source, are being explored.

On the evaluation of the DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket sector thermal-hydraulic performances at a system level

Fusion Engineering and Design
To obtain an affordable BB design, one of the key issues is assessing its thermal-hydraulic performances during operational and accidental conditions. For this, an analysis of the component transient behavior is needed to improve and refine the project.
