Abstract:The blanket materials were evaluated and optimized for use in a nuclear fusion-fission hybrid reactor by calculating the tritium breeding ratio (TBR), the ratio of thermal power output to fusion power input (Q value) and the temperature distributions. The calculation of TBR and Q value was performed by Monte Carlo code (MCNP-4C) and the temperature distributions by one dimensional heat equation. First, the structure materials, coolant and tritium breeding materials were investigated in terms of the TBR and the… Show more
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.
