The water-cooled lithium–lead breeding blanket is a candidate option for the European Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) nuclear fusion reactor. This concept relies on liquid as breeder–multiplier, pressurized water coolant, and EUROFER structural material. current design based DEMO 2015 specifications represents follow-up of developed in 2015. single-module-segment approach employed. constituted by basic geometry repeated along poloidal direction. power removed means radial–toroidal (i.e.,...
The water-cooled lithium-lead (PbLi) breeding blanket is one of the candidate systems considered for implementation in 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 coolant, EUROFER structural material. current design based on single module segment approach follows requirements DEMO-2015 baseline design. constituted by a basic toroidal-radial cell that...
DEMO will be a fusion power plant demonstrating the integration into grid architecture of an electric utility grid. The design conversion chain is particular importance, as it must adequately account for specifics nuclear on generation side and ensure compatibility with at all times. One special challenges foreseen pulsed operation, which affects operation entire heat transport chain. This requires time-dependant analysis different concept approaches to proof reliable efficiency obtain...
The EUROfusion Safety and Environmental Work Package (WPSAE) has the scope to progress safety studies for future EU DEMO reactor. A Generic Site Report (GSSR) been prepared include all steps necessary cover issues of nuclear fusion plant, from definition principles requirements, through detection source terms at risk, selecting postulated initiating events, analyzing accidents, quantifying doses population investigating waste production its management. Eleven GSSR volumes collate performed....
In the present paper, possibility of increasing thermodynamic efficiency an electric energy production plant, by using advanced conversion system based on supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) as working fluid, has been analyzed. Since cycles are being considered a favorable candidate for next generation nuclear power plant systems, lead cooled fast reactor selected reference in analyses. The main aim study is to compare two different S-CO2 thermal applied plant. Lead Fast Reactor (LFR) used...
The interaction between the molten metal and plasma-containing magnetic field in breeding blanket causes onset of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. To properly design blanket, it is important to quantify how much flow features are modified compared with an ordinary hydrodynamic This paper aims characterize evolution fluid inside one proposed concepts for DEMO, Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL), focusing on central cell equatorial outboard module. A preliminary validation was required gauge...
