W-HYDRA: a new experimental platform for the Water-Cooled Lead Lithium Breeding Blanket

Nuclear Fusion
In the framework of the activities coordinated by the EUROfusion consortium, the Water thermal-HYDRAulic (W-HYDRA) experimental platform is being built at the ENEA Brasimone Research Centre in order to support the development of the Water-Cooled Lead ...

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.

Parametric thermal-hydraulic analysis of the EU DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead First Wall using the GETTHEM code [PDF]

, 2018
The system-level code GETTHEM is applied to the thermal-hydraulic analysis of an entire segment of the Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) First Wall (FW) of the EU DEMO reactor, parametrically varying the heat load of the FW and the coolant mass flow rate.

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

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

Assessment of DEMO WCLL breeding blanket primary heat transfer system isolation valve absorbed doses due to activated water

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract Within the framework of the activities foreseen by the EUROfusion action on the cooling water activation assessment for a DEMO reactor equipped with a Water Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB), the University of Palermo is involved in the investigation of the absorbed dose induced by the decay of nitrogen radioisotopes produced by

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.
