Present Status of ITER Test Blanket Development

Tritium Modeling for Iter Test Blanket Module

HCPB (Helium Cooled Pebbles Bed) Test Blanket Model (TBM) is based on solid breeder. Tritium has to be extracted using Helium purge gas flowing through breeder pebbles bed. He-stream must be cooled down and processed and all these steps are carried out in TES (Tritium Extraction System). A modeling work has been performed to study the behavior of the TES of the HCPB TBM and for Molecular Sieve ...

An overview of US ITER test blanket module program

A testing strategy and corresponding test plan have been presented for the two proposed US candidate breeder blankets: (1) a helium-cooled solid breeder concept with ferritic steel structure and Be neutron multiplier, but without a fully independent TBM and (2) a dual-coolant helium-cooled ferritic steel structure with self-cooled LiPb breeding zone that uses a flow channel insert as MHD and th...

Preliminary Safety Analysis for the Chinese ITER Dual-Functional Lithium-Lead Test Blanket Module

Safety analysis is a part of the ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM) design process to ensure that the TBM does not adversely affect the safety of ITER. To get the license for TBM as a whole with International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the relevant safety analysis is required for each TBM system proposed by each party. The safety analysis for the Chinese Dual-Functional Lithium-Lead...

UWFDM-1395 Improvements to the Helium Flow Path in the US DCLL ITER Test Blanket Module

Computational fluid dynamics simulations have demonstrated flow problems within the helium flow path in the current US DCLL ITER test blanket module design. New geometry for the helium flow path has been designed that will improve flow evenness and simplify the overall helium flow path within the test blanket module while maintaining the overall test blanket module geometry. Global changes to t...
