“…In the 2000s, the U.S. proposed a DCLL TBM for ITER [33]. A number of deliverables were produced, addressing the different physical phenomena in ITER TBMs and how the data could be extrapolated to DEMO conditions [34][35][36]. Other related activities focused on the development of sensors for ITER TBMs and the associated strategies [37].…”

“…In order to both recover the neutron energy and guarantee the tritium production, a breeding blanket (a mix of lithium isotopes) which is essentially lithium-based will internally cover the vacuum chamber. Several breeding blanket concepts are currently under study for ITER and DEMO: they can be classified as solid (Li-ceramics) and liquid (Pb-Li alloy) breeders [5][6][7]. The nuclear reactions that occur inside the blanket are attributed to lithium (Li) isotopes and neutron interaction:…”

“…The Reaction (2) occurs when the fast neutrons coming from Reaction (1) reach the blanket surface. This reaction is characterized by a very low cross section while, according to (3), slow neutrons react with 6 Li with a very high cross section (high cross sections correspond to high probability of reaction). The tritium must be opportunely recovered afterwards inside a dedicated facility (the tritium plant) where several processes occur in a closed-loop to form the fuel cycle.…”

“…В табл. 1 и 2 представлены характерные безразмерные критерии -числа Гартмана, Рейнольдса, Грасгофа и Стюарта, определяющие гидродинамику и теплообмен течения ЖМ в трактах охлаждения ИМБ ИТЭР и бланкета реактора ДЕМО [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Стоит отметить, что в большинстве работ подробно не рассматрива-ется влияние ТГК на осреднённые величины и практически отсутствует информация о влиянии на пульса-ционные характеристики.…”
