TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored novel concepts for fusion chamber technology that can substantially improve the attractiveness of fusion energy systems, including the potential for: (1) high power density capability; (2) higher plasma β and stable physics regimes if liquid metals are used; (3) increased disruption survivability; (4) reduced volume of radioactive waste; (5) reduced radiation damage in structural materials; and (6) higher availability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blanket/first wall challenges and required R&D on the pathway to DEMO
Mohamed A. Abdou,Neil B. Morley,Sergey Smolentsev,Alice Ying,Siegfried Malang,Arthur Rowcliffe,M.A. Ulrickson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the top technical issues and elucidates the primary challenges in developing the blanket/first wall and identified the key R&D needs in non-fusion and fusion facilities on the path to DEMO.
Journal ArticleDOI
MHD thermofluid issues of liquid-metal blankets: Phenomena and advances
TL;DR: In this paper, the major accomplishments in the MHD thermofluid area over the last few years are reviewed for liquid-metal blankets, and the most important MHD phenomena and their impact on heat and mass transfer during blanket operation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of key magnetohydrodynamic phenomena in PbLi flows for the US DCLL blanket
TL;DR: The dual-coolant lead-lithium (DCLL) blanket concept is considered in the US for testing in ITER and as a candidate for using in DEMO reactor.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of dual coolant Pb–17Li breeder first wall and blanket concept development for the US ITER-TBM design
C.P.C. Wong,Siegfried Malang,Mohamed E. Sawan,Mohamad Dagher,Sergey Smolentsev,Brad J. Merrill,M.Z. Youssef,Susanna Reyes,D.-K. Sze,Neil B. Morley,Shahran Sharafat,Pattrick Calderoni,G. Sviatoslavsky,Richard J. Kurtz,P.J. Fogarty,Steven J. Zinkle,Mohamed A. Abdou +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a dual-coolant Pb-17Li liquid (DCLL) breeder design, where reduced activation ferritic steel (RAFS) is used as the structural material.
