متن کاملAn overview of dual coolant Pb–17Li breeder first wall and blanket concept development for the US ITER-TBM design
An attractive blanket concept for the fusion reactor is the dual coolant Pb–17Li liquid (DCLL) breeder design. Reduced activation ferritic steel (RAFS) is used as the structural material. Helium is used to cool the first wall and blanket structure, and the self-cooled breeder Pb–17Li is circulated for power conversion and for tritium breeding. A SiCf/SiC composite insert is used as the magnetoh...
