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
Code development for analysis of MHD pressure drop reduction in a liquid metal blanket using insulation technique based on a fully developed flow model
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical code for analysis of a fully developed MHD flow in a channel of a liquid metal blanket using various insulation techniques is presented, which includes a finite-volume formulation, automatically generated Hartmann number sensitive meshes, and effective convergence acceleration technique.

Magnetohydrodynamic and Thermal Issues of the SiCf/SiC Flow Channel Insert
TL;DR: In the dual-coolant lead lithium (DCLL) blanket, the key element is the flow channel insert (FCI) made of a silicon carbide composite (SiCf/SiC), which serves as electric and thermal insulator.

Reduced-activation bainitic and martensitic steels for nuclear fusion applications
TL;DR: Reduced activation steels were developed to enhance safety and reduce adverse environmental effects of future fusion power plants as discussed by the authors, and the feasibility of their use for fusion was investigated in an international collaboration from 1994 to present.

Development of oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steels for fusion
TL;DR: In this article, an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel with high temperature strength has been developed in line with low activation criteria for application in fusion power systems and the composition Fe−13.5Cr−2W−0.25Y2O3 was chosen to provide a minimum chromium content to insure fully delta-ferrite stability.

Combination of a self-cooled liquid metal breeder blanket with a gas turbine power conversion system
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-cooled liquid metal breeder blanket with a closed cycle helium gas turbine was proposed to eliminate the potential for liquid metal-water reactions by replacing the Rankine cycle with a Brayton cycle.
