Lead-Bismuth-Eutectic Spallation Neutron Source for Nuclear Transmuter
A lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) spallation target design concept has been developed for the subcritical multiplier (SCM) design of the accelerator-driven test facility (ADTF). The design is based on a coaxial geometrical configuration, which has been carefully analyzed and designed to achieve an optimum performance. The target design description, the results from the parametric studies, and the d...
متن کاملImproved modelling of helium and tritium production for spallation targets
Reliable predictions of light charged particle production in spallation reactions are important to correctly assess gas production in spallation targets. In particular, the helium production yield is important for assessing damage in the window separating the accelerator vacuum from a spallation target, and tritium is a major contributor to the target radioactivity. Up to now, the models availa...
متن کاملOxygen-iron interaction in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic alloy.
Iron released by steel corrosion was found to be a key impurity in reactions with dissolved oxygen in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic alloys. The iron-oxygen-magnetite equilibrium was characterized, allowing the quantification of phenomena that are important for long-term operation of lead-alloy based installations such as corrosion rate control and management of precipitates.
متن کاملComputer modeling of laser melting and spallation of metal targets
The mechanisms of melting and photomechanical damage/spallation occurring under extreme superheating/deformation rate conditions realized in short pulse laser processing are investigated in a computational study performed with a hybrid atomistic-continuum model. The model combines classical molecular dynamics method for simulation of nonequilibrium processes of lattice superheating and fast pha...
متن کاملEnhancement of oxygen transfer in liquid lead and lead–bismuth eutectic by natural convection
The present study carries out numerical analysis of the coupled natural convection and oxygen transfer of low-Prandtl-number ( 0.02) liquid lead and lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) for testing and calibrating low concentration level oxygen sensors. The analysis is performed on the two-dimensional coordinates in a rectangular container, where the fluid movement is laminar for the purpose of sensor t...
