Analysis of EM loads on DEMO WCLL breeding blanket during VDE-up

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
This work presents the development of a DEMO EM model based on the WCLL design able to evaluate EM loads during normal and off-normal operations. The model has the capability to use periodic boundary conditions (in order to analyze EM transients in ...

CFD simulation of the magnetohydrodynamic flow inside the WCLL breeding blanket module [PDF]

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
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

Activated corrosion product contamination assessments of DEMO WCLL breeding blanket primary heat transport system [PDF]

Fusion Engineering and Design
In water-cooled fusion reactors, the assessment of the primary system contamination is essential for waste management, machine availability, occupational radiation exposure, and radiological hazard determination. The primary cooling water is not only directly activated by the intense neutron field but is a contamination vector for a significant variety
