UWFDM-804 Activation Analysis for the LIBRA Light Ion Beam Fusion Conceptual Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Activation calculations have been performed for the LIBRA reactor. Replacing HT-9 by low activation modified HT-9 increases the activity by a factor of 2.5 at shutdown while the long term activity drops by a factor of 25. The reflector is classified as Class C low level waste when modified HT-9 is used. Using HT-9 will require deep geological burial for the LIBRA radwaste. The activity produced in the Li17Pb83 coolant has been determined. 210Po is the major contributor to the coolant BHP between a week and a year after shutdown. During this period the 210Po BHP values change from 7 x 105 to 1.2 x 105 km3 of air.
