Journal ArticleDOI
Design and material issues for high performance SiCf/SiC-based fusion power cores
A.R. Raffray,R.H. Jones,G. Aiello,Michael C. Billone,L. Giancarli,H. Golfier,Akira Hasegawa,Yutai Katoh,Akira Kohyama,S. Nishio,B. Riccardi,Mark S. Tillack +11 more
TL;DR: The SiCf/SiC composite is a promising structural material candidate for fusion power cores and has been considered internationally in several power plant studies as discussed by the authors, but its behavior and performance at high temperatures and under irradiation are still not well known and need to be better characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
R&D issues for SiCf/SiC composites structural material in fusion power reactor blankets
L. Giancarli,G. Aiello,A Caso,Adrien Gasse,G Le Marois,Yves Poitevin,J.-F. Salavy,J. Szczepanski +7 more
TL;DR: The main features of recent fusion reactor blanket conceptual designs using SiC f /SiC as structural material are presented in this article, with particular attention paid to the adopted safety and maintenance strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of SiCf/SiC composite structures for nuclear components
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of low activation Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) appears as the most promising solution to obtain high safety standards in future fusion power reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of the TAURO blanket system associated with a liquid-metal cooled divertor
H. Golfier,G. Aiello,M.A Fütterer,Adrien Gasse,L. Giancarli,Yves Poitevin,J.-F. Salavy,Y. Severi,J. Szczepanski +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors recall the main features of the TAURO blanket, a self-cooled Pb-17Li concept using SiC f /SiC composite as structural material, and describe the most recent thermo-mechanical analyses performed on the blanket.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutronic and photonic analysis of the single box water-cooled lithium lead blanket for a DEMO reactor
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a neutronic and photonic analysis of the single box concept is presented, including the whole assembly and many of the DEMO reactor components, together with a three-dimensional neutron source.
