High performance blanket for ARIES-AT power plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ARIES-AT blanket has been developed with the overall objective of achieving high performance while maintaining attractive safety features, simple design geometry, credible maintenance and fabrication processes, and reasonable design margins as an indication of reliability. The design is based on Pb–17Li as breeder and coolant and SiCf/SiC composite as structural material. This paper summarizes the results of the design study of this blanket. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A modular DCLL blanket is selected as the reference concept in the ARIES-CS power plant study. This concept is characterized by the following features: 1. Eutectic lead lithium alloy Pb-17Li serving as breeder and coolant (“self-cooled breeding zone”); 2. Helium-cooled FW and blanket structure made of the MF82H Reduced Activation Ferritic Steel (RAFS); 3. Flow channel inserts (FCI) made of SiCc...
متن کاملBlanket system selection for the ARIES-ST
The ARIES-ST (Spherical Tokamak) is to investigate the attractiveness of a low-aspect-device as the confinement concept for a fusion power plant. The key driven force of the ST design is caused by the center column conductor. The design selected is a water-cooled Cu normal conductor. This selection has a major impact on the blanket design and selection, tritium breeding and over-all power balan...
