The tungsten samples (99.99 % purity from A.L.M.T. Corp., 6mm in diameter, 0.2mm in thickness) were irradiated by high-flux neutrons at 323K (50C) to 0.025 dpa in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).Subsequently, the neutron-irradiated tungsten samples were exposed to high-flux
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 selfcooled breeder Pb-17Li is circulated for power conversion and for tritium breeding. A SiC f /SiC composite insert is used as the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) insulation to reduce the impact from the MHD pressure drop of the circulating Pb-17Li and as the thermal insulator to separate the high temperature Pb-17Li from the helium cooled RAFS structure.have proposed a test plan for the DCLL ITER-Test Blanket Module program.
