For validation of fusion reactors breeding zones feasibility, a facility for functional in-reactor investigations of tritium-breeding models (RITM-F), based on an IVV-2M reactor has been constructed. The test program will be distinguished as functional tests. The RITM-F facility will consist of an experimental channel with a breeding zone model, a tritium extraction system, a cooling system, a monitoring and management system, and a system for processing experimental data. Main characteristics of the RITM-F facility are: models' irradiation environment -helium-neon mixture, pressure -0.04 MPa; minimum pressure in the channel cavity -10 À2 mmHg; tritium purge-gas -neon þ 1% hydrogen, pressure -0.1-0.2 MPa, flow rate -0.1-10 cm 3 =c; interrogation time of parameters' monitoring channels -2-10 c; temperature of purge-gas channel cooling -490 K. Thermal and neutron parameters of the main possible positions of the RITM-F channel in the reactor will be presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
