Advanced high performance solid wall blanket concepts

Abstract: First wall and blanket (FW/blanket) design is a crucial element in the performance and acceptance of a fusion power plant. High temperature structural and breeding materials are needed for high thermal performance. A suitable combination of structural design with the selected materials is necessary for D Á/T fuel sufficiency. Whenever possible, low afterheat, low chemical reactivity and low activation materials are desired to achieve passive safety and minimize the amount of high-level waste. Of course the sel… Show more

“…In the frame of the US-Advanced Power Extraction (US-APEX) study [2] a novel blanket concept was proposed, where the entire heat from the first wall and the breeding zone is removed by evaporation of lithium and vapor extraction (EVOLVE) [24,25]. This concept is based on the use of a tungsten alloy as structural material and the exceptional large heat of evaporation of lithium.…”

“…Due to its exceptional relevance, the question on the right breeding blanket concept has frequently been discussed in literature (e.g. see [1]). Next to the blanket technology itself, the compatibility with advanced power conversion systems and with suitable remote maintenance strategies as well as the coolant cycles have to be considered in detail.…”
