Study of the EU-DEMO WCLL Breeding Blanket Primary Cooling Circuits Thermal-Hydraulic Performances during Transients Belonging to LOFA Category [PDF]

Energies, 2021
The Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the key components of the European Demonstration (EU-DEMO) fusion reactor. Its main subsystems, the Breeder Zone (BZ) and the First Wall (FW), are cooled by two independent cooling circuits, called Primary Heat ...

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

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract 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 are modified compared with an ordinary hydrodynamic flow.

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

Influence of hydrogen trapping on WCLL breeding blanket performances [PDF]

Nuclear Fusion, 2021
Tritium transport simulations in Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) breeding blankets have been performed with FESTIM. Fluid dynamics and heat transfer were coupled to evaluate how temperature and LiPb velocity fields affect Tritium transport. The 2D WCLL model consisted of tungsten, EUROFER and liquid LiPb. Tritium inventories and permeation fluxes have

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

, 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).

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.

Recent Progress in the WCLL Breeding Blanket Design for the DEMO Fusion Reactor

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2018
The water-cooled lithium-lead (PbLi) breeding blanket is one of the candidate systems considered for the implementation in the European Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This concept employs PbLi liquid metal as tritium breeder and neutron multiplier, water pressurized at 15.5 MPa as the coolant, and EUROFER as the structural ...
