Significant design efforts were undertaken during the Pre-Concept Design (PCD) phase of European DEMO program to optimize helium cooled pebble bed (HCPB) breeding blanket. A gate review was conducted for entire at conclusion PCD phase. This article presents a summary evolution and rationale behind HCPB blanket concept DEMO. The main performance metrics, including nuclear, thermal hydraulics, mechanical, tritium permeation behaviors, are reported. These figures demonstrate that is highly...
The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) breeding blanket, being developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and its partners is one two driver blanket candidates to be selected for European demonstration fusion power plant (EU DEMO). in-box Loss Coolant Accident (LOCA) a postulated initiating event (BB) that must accounted within design basis. In this paper, BB cap region analyzed ability withstand an LOCA event. Initially, assessment performed using conventional elastic codes...
