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...
Extensive modelling and analytical work has been carried out considering the water-cooled lithium–lead breeding blanket (WCLL BB) balance of plant (BOP) configuration demonstration power (DEMO) using Apros system code, developed by VTT Technical Research Centre Finland Ltd. Fortum. Contributing to BOP package EUROfusion Consortium, integral model for dynamic analyses WCLL BB updated with special attention primary components. Following trends relevant neutronics modelling, a new implemented...
The application of Loviisa Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) operating license extension for 20 years was submitted to the Ministry Trade and Industry Finland on November 1, 2006. For a great number different studies, analyses, clarifications etc. were needed show authorities that plant can be operated safely another years. main tool in safety analysis work APROS (Advanced PROcess Simulator) simulation software, which has been developed during past This paper deals with cold leg loss-of-coolant...
Extensive modeling and analytical work has been carried out considering the Helium-Cooled Pebble Bed Breeding Blanket (HCPB BB) Balance Of Plant (BOP) configuration of Demonstration Power (DEMO) using Apros system code, developed by VTT Technical Research Centre Finland Ltd. Fortum. The integral plant model HCPB BB improved with respect to blanket steam generator models. Based on HCPB-BL2017 v1 data, reported in 2019, remodeled separate process components, dedicated average inboard outboard...
