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....
Abstract ITER is of key importance in the European fusion roadmap as it aims to prove scientific and technological feasibility a future energy source. The EUROfusion consortium labs within Europe contributing preparation exploitation operation aspires exploit outcomes view DEMO. paper provides an overview major progress obtained recently, carried out frame new (initiated 2021) work-package called ‘ Pr eparation I TER O peration’ (PrIO). directly supported by eleven PrIO contributions given...
The Fast Discharge Units (FDUs) of the Superconducting (SC) Toroidal Field (TF) coils in European demonstration fusion power plant DEMO warrant machine integrity over its full lifetime against severe failure events, such as SC coil quenches or any other events requiring safe TF magnet system discharge. A low (75 kA) and a high current (105 configuration are under study for DEMO. FDUs must be extremely reliable purpose commutating short time (∼1 s) currents to discharge magnets safely into...
Abstract Two neutronics experiments have been carried out at 14 MeV neutron sources on mock-ups of the helium cooled pebble bed (HCBP) and lithium lead (HCLL) variants ITER test blanket modules (TBMs). These provided an experimental validation calculations tritium production rate (TPR) in two concepts assessment uncertainties due to nuclear data. This paper provides a brief summary HCPB experiment then focuses particular final results HCLL experiment. The TPR has measured mock-up irradiated...
The methodological approach employed for the neutronics in PPPT (Power Plant Physics and Technology) programme of EUROfusion is presented. It encompasses development works on advanced computational tools activities related to nuclear design performance evaluation DEMO power plant including safety, maintenance, waste management issues. Development work conducted Monte Carlo codes, CAD geometry conversion simulations, coupled radiation transport activation computation systems. role data...
A Volumetric Neutron Source (VNS) is proposed as a compact tokamak to serve qualification testbed for fusion in-vessel components, breeding blanket in particular. The main goal determine the minimum size of machine while maximizing Wall Load (NWL). This paper discusses design parameters and constraints involved specifying magnetic cage VNS. focus study on sizing TF (toroidal field) coils related structures with plasma field, well assessing how various influence performance at higher field...
