Development and application of multiscale procedures for the thermomechanical analysis of the DEMO Water-Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket
2022
The Breeding Blanket is an essential component of the DEMO fusion reactor and its design is one of the pivotal purposes of the DEMO project. Indeed, this component has to withstand severe operating conditions, as it is directly exposed to the plasma, making its design particularly challenging. In particular, the Water-Cooled Lithium-Lead (WCLL) BB concept is one of the candidates currently considered for the conceptual design of the European DEMO reactor. The development of a robust BB system is crucial for the design of the whole DEMO reactor and the thermo-mechanical assessment of the whole BB segments is mandatory to allow checking their structural performances in different loading scena…
Study of the Effect of Two Phases in Li4SiO4–Li2SiO3 Ceramics on the Strength and Thermophysical Parameters
