Breeding blanket - Wikipedia
The tritium breeding blanket (also known as a fusion blanket, lithium blanket or simply blanket), is a key part of many proposed fusion reactor designs.
Numerical model of dual-coolant lead–lithium (DCLL) blanket
Within the framework of the EUROfusion research and development activities, the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the two candidates to be chosen as the driver blanket for the European DEMO nuclear fusion reactor.
Design Window Calculations for a Constant q' Lithium Blanket Comparinq Lithium and Sodium Coolants 1. Introduction An interesting fusion reactor coolant/breeding material combination is liquid metal cooling with a stagnant lithium pool breeding region. A design methodology is developed to identify the constraints on a constant q' blanket model ...
The analysis of Dual-Coolant Lead–Lithium (DCLL) blankets requires application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods for electrically conductive liquids in geometrically complex regions and in the presence
Numerical model of dual-coolant lead–lithium (DCLL) blanket
2018年12月1日 · Numerical model capable of analyzing flow and heat transfer in DCLL blankets was created. The model allows CFD analysis of the non-conductive turbulent coolant flow, and simultaneous CFD-MHD analysis of conductive flow of tritium breeding medium.
Enhancement: ToKaMaK reactor Lithium blanket #1764 - GitHub
More of just a personal pet peeve with the inefficiency of the fusion reactor's breeding channel, as such, i propose a simple item, a blanket for the fusion reactor with the same (or slightly lower) durability of a tungsten reactor blank...
What is a lithium blanket and how does it work? - EUROfusion
What is a lithium blanket and how does it work? The blanket is a layer surrounding the vessel in a fusion powerplant. It will absorb the energy from the fusion neutrons produced in the plasma , boiling water via a heat exchanger, which will be used to …
Liquid metal breeders such as Lithium or the eutectic Lead-Lithium alloy PbLi have the potential for attractive breeding blankets, especially if the liquid metal serves as breeder and coolant.
In this paper we propose and study a self-cooled lead lithium (SCLL) blanket with EUROFER structure. There is the possibility of decoupling the First Wall and the Blanket cooling leading to two different First Wall-blanket arrangements: Integrated First Wall Blanket (IFWB) and Separated First Wall Blanket (SFWB).
One thick liquid concept is the Electromagnetically Restrained (EMR) Lithium Blanket, in which an approximately one meter thick shell of liquid lithium metal almost completely surrounds a fusioning tokamak’s toroidal plasma discharge, absorbing plasma particles, neutrons and other radiations while breeding tritium and collecting high temperature...
