Combination of a self-cooled liquid metal breeder blanket with a gas turbine power conversion system
Self-cooled liquid metal breeder blankets have a high potential to meet the overall goal of fusion research to develop an economically and environmentally attractive energy source. They offer the possibility to design mechanically simple blanket segments, employ a high-temperature, low-pressure coolant, allow for a high power density, and as consequences of these, achieve high efficiency and av...
متن کاملLaser Cooled High-Power Fiber Amplifier
A theoretical model for laser cooled continuous-wave fiber amplifier is presented. The amplification process takes place in the Tm 3+ -doped core of the fluoride ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2LaF3-AlF3-NaF) glass fiber. The cooling process takes place in the Yb 3+ :ZBLAN fiber cladding. It is shown that for each value of the pump power and the amplified signal there is a distribution of the concentration of ...
متن کاملUWFDM-1133 Neutronics Performance Characteristics of the High Power Density EVOLVE First Wall/Blanket System
The neutronics performance of the EVOLVE concept was analyzed using two-dimensional calculations. The vapor fraction in the boiling blanket has a small impact on the nuclear performance parameters. For the worst case condition with the highest predicted vapor fraction distribution, all nuclear performance parameters are acceptable with a comfortable margin. The EVOLVE boiling blanket is expecte...
متن کاملUWFDM-1107 Neutronics Features of a High Power Density First Wall/Blanket with Lithium Evaporation Cooling
Two-dimensional neutronics analysis has been performed for the EVOLVE (EVaporation Of Lithium and Vapor Extraction) FW/blanket concept. The concept utilizes a refractory alloy (W-5Re) structure. The overall tritium breeding ratio is 1.37 at a lithium enrichment of 40% Li. The amount of nuclear heat deposited in the different regions was determined. About 76% of the total thermal energy is carri...
متن کاملNeutronics Analysis of A Self-Cooled Blanket for A Laser Fusion Plant with Magnetic Diversion
A blanket concept made of the low electrical conductivity SiCf/SiC composite and utilizing Li17Pb83 as coolant and tritium breeder has been developed and integrated with the magnetic diversion system. Neutronics issues related to tritium breeding adequacy particularly with the area lost to the dump plates at the ring and point cusps were addressed. Radiation damage and lifetime considerations f...
