A Lithium Self-Cooled Blanket for the HAPL Conceptual Inertial Confinement Reactor

Feasibility of Hydrogen Production Using Laser Inertial Fusion as the Primary Energy Source

“…One uses a liquid lithium blanket in conjunction with a tungsten-armored FS FW [Sviatoslavsky et al (2005)]. The other involves magnetic diversion, using liquid 83% lead-17% lithium eutectic alloy (Pb-17Li) for the blanket and SiC-fiber-reinforced SiC-matrix (SiC f /SiC) composite for the FW [Sviatoslavsky (2006), ].…”

“…More details are provided in the reference publication [Sviatoslavsky et al (2005)]. Table 3-1 gives some relevant parameters from the design of this blanket.…”

“…Liquid lithium self-cooled blanket with tungsten-armored FS FW chamber [Sviatoslavsky et al (2005)]; T outlet = 650°C, T intlet = 383°C, P = 0.5 MPa. 2.…”

Threats, design limits and design windows for laser IFE dry wall chambers

“…14 illustrates the concept, described in more detail in Ref. [19]. It consists of banks of vertically-arranged rectangular tubes (or submodules) extending the whole height of the nearly cylindrical chamber.…”

“…Schematic of self-cooled Li concept for HAPL showing: (a) arrangement of a number of submodules on one side of the chamber; and (b) a cross-section of a submodule at the midplane of the chamber[19].…”
