“…It is completed, for some ITER specific aspects by ITER structural design criteria for in-vessel components (SDC-IC). In this work [5,6] the reference load cases and the related rules for the assessment were defined, identifying at the same time the missing rules and the lack of characterization for the TBM EUROFER structural material. Three different loading conditions (LC) have been studied; the first one corresponds to normal operation during a typical D-T phase plasma pulse (LC1), the second to the typical power excursion occurring during a MARFE event (LC2) and the third one corresponds to the accidental pressurization of the box in case of internal LOCA (LC3).…”

“…The description of the HCLL TBM concept and up to date design is performed in [1]; the TBM is mainly a heat exchanger between a tritium breeder (PbLi) and a coolant (helium); it is made of two main parts: the box which ensures its mechanical integrity and the breeder zone which is mainly the location of tritium production. The TBM breeder zone (BZ) is the volume inside the TBM, filled with PbLi and equipped with 16 breeding units (BU).…”

“…The TBM breeder zone (BZ) is the volume inside the TBM, filled with PbLi and equipped with 16 breeding units (BU). A BU is made of cooling plates (CP), a BU back plate (which supports the CPs), 2 helium collectors (which distribute helium through CP channels), and the surrounding PbLi (see [1] for illustrations).…”

“…• C1 assumes reference design cooling conditions for the IN-TBM [1]. • C2 assumes a helium mass flow rate in the FW adapted so that the maximum structural temperature of the FW material stays below 550 • C in order to be IN-TBM and DEMO relevant in terms of maximum temperature of the FW.…”

“…Hence the capability to increase the temperature level in the BZ by simply acting on the coolant circulation parameters is limited: maximum PbLi averaged temperature reachable in C2 is 407 • C, much lower than 484 • C, reached in the IN-TBM [1].…”

The Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) is a fusion engineering reactor independently designed and developed by China, and the design of the blanket is one of the key points during the design of CFETR. The configurations of CFETR, the detailed designs of the three types of blankets and typical blanket module, and the coolant flowing schemes in blanket module are introduced in paper. Besides, the work about Thermo-physical Property Database of Fusion Material and Thermo-hydraulic Database of Models established for the three types of blankets is presented. The fusion material involves Plasma Facing Materials (PFM), structural materials, coolant and breeding materials, and the peak temperature and the peak pressure in both steady-state and transient conditions are covered for property of materials. The thermo-hydraulic database includes the heat transfer models, the pressure drop models, and some special models for the fluid flow in blanket. In addition, the tests and verification for the database are performed, and the shortages and deficiencies of current database are analyzed.
