Chemical compatibility of bulk alumina in flowing PbLi alloy under magnetic field
2021
Abstract Electrically insulating flow channel inserts (FCI) may be needed in liquid-based breeding blanket concepts to electrically decouple the metal flow from the strong magnetic field in a future fusion reactor. Although the magnetohydrodynamic simulation demonstrates a reduction of the pressure drop when a sandwich-like steel-alumina-steel FCI is employed, the tritium production efficiency in the breeding zone of a breeding blanket is limited to 550 °C due to the steel corrosion. Previous theoretical thermomechanical analyses point out the possible occurrence of induced interfacial stresses between the steel and the ceramic part. Both factors motivate the actual FCI development towards …

Experimental setup for analysis of sorption and desorption of tritium in liquid lithium under different external conditions
2013
An original complex device has been designed and created specially for this research. Some of tritium sorption and thermal desorption in liquid lithium experiments has been successfully done already. First experiment series were carried out under reduced pressure (vacuum) to rule out other operating gases (like Ar) that may squeeze out tritium from lithium. Experiments showed good tritium desorption from lithium which highly depends on the temperature. A proportional gas counter tritium monitor was used to collect data from tritium thermal desorption experiments.
