Pre-analysis of the WCLL breeding blanket mock-up neutronics experiment at the frascati neutron generator

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract The Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) is one of the breeding blanket (BB) concept candidate for the future European Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor (DEMO). In the frame of the EUROfusion Consortium, a WCLL BB mock-up neutronics experiment will be performed at the 14 MeV Frascati Neutron Generator (FNG) irradiation facility, devoted to the ...

Magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the WCLL breeding blanket with helical cooling pipes

Fusion Engineering and Design
The Water-Cooled Lead Lithium (WCLL) is a Breeding Blanket (BB) concept presently in the development phase for implementation in the DEMO fusion reactor demonstrator. The Lead lithium eutectic alloy (PbLi) breeder is moved at a slow velocity to diminish Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) pressure losses.

Helical-shaped double wall tubes solution for the breeding zone cooling in the WCLL breeding blanket

Fusion Engineering and Design
One of the two most promising Breeding Blanket (BB) concepts to be chosen as driver design of the EU-DEMO fusion reactor is the Water-Cooled Lead Lithium (WCLL) BB. A crucial point of this key component is the cooling of the BB structural elements and of the Lithium-Lead alloy, used as neutronic multiplier and Tritium breeder.

Parametric study of the influence of double-walled tubes layout on the DEMO WCLL breeding blanket thermal performances

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract Within the framework of the EUROfusion activities regarding the EU-DEMO Breeding Blanket (BB) concept, the University of Palermo is long-time involved, in close cooperation with ENEA, in the design of the Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) BB, that is one of the two concepts under consideration for the DEMO reactor.

Tritium Transport in WCLL Outboard Breeding Blanket of EU-DEMO Reactor Under Pulsed Plasma Operation

Fusion Science and Technology, 2023
The accurate prediction of the tritium inventory and permeation fluxes in the water-cooled lithium-lead (WCLL) breeding blanket of the European DEMO fusion reactor is a key aspect for future thermonuclear power plant licensing. In this context, a tritium transport analysis is essential for the evaluation of the tritium retention in LiPb (15.7 at. % Li)

Tritium transport model at breeder unit level for HCLL breeding blanket

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract The Helium-Cooled Lithium Lead (HCLL) breeding blanket is one of the European blanket designs proposed for DEMO reactor. A tritium transport model is fundamental for the correct assessment of both design and safety, in order to guarantee tritium self-sufficiency and to characterize tritium concentrations, inventories and losses.

Multiphysics tritium transport modelling in WCLL breeding blankets: Influence of MHD effects and neutron damage

2023
The replenishment of tritium fuel in a breeding blanket is fundamental for the operation of commercial DT fusion reactors. Accurate modelling of hydrogen transport and inventories within the breeding blanket will be essential for safety issues and economic sustainability.

MHD and heat transfer analyses in PbLi radial channels for the EUROfusion WCLL breeding blanket

2019
The Water Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) breeding blanket concept is the one of the PbLi-based concepts under development within the framework of the EUROfusion project. This concept is characterized by cooling the PbLi using water tubes embedded in the PbLi flow.
