Static Neutronics Analyses of Hellium-Cooled Solid Breeder Blanket

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Monte Carlo N-particle transport code was used to study physics of the helium-cooled solid-breeder tritium breeding blanket in the Chinese Fusion Engineering Thermal Reactor (CFETR)for various volume ratio of the neutron multiplier and tritium breeder and various thickness of the first wall. A sandwich-type of Be and loading model is used to analyze the compact of volume ratio and the thickness of the first wall for the tritium breeding rate. The results of different volume ratio models show that the tritium breeding ratio would reach 1.51 for volume ratio from 2 to 5.And the results of the different first wall thickness show that the upper limit of the thickness should be 33mm to keep the tritium self-sustain.
