Proposal for Comprehensive Functional Testing of Blanket Modules in Fusion Reactors

The proposal discusses the need for advanced functional tests of blanket modules in fusion reactors due to the delay in the ITER program. Emphasizing the importance of early nuclear functional testing, it suggests considering partial models for assessments beyond tritium release, such as nuclear heating effects on breeding materials. The objective is to evaluate irradiation impact and tritium permeation in a holistic manner.

• Fusion reactors
• Blanket modules
• Functional testing

Presentation Transcript

1. Comment on the middle flux module - Proposal of the blanket functional tests - Takeo Nishitani 1National Institute for Fusion Science, 322-6 Oroshi-cho, Toki 509-5292, Japan Workshop on Advanced Neutron Source and its Application, Aomori, 4-5 November 2017

2. ITER program is delayed. Substantial TMB test is later than 2038. Nuclear functional test of the blanket is required much earlier. 33rd Meeting of the ITPA Topical Group on Diagnostics, 16-19 October, 2017, ITER Organization, France

3. Tritium Release Test Module (from Intermediate Eng. Design Report) 33rd Meeting of the ITPA Topical Group on Diagnostics, 16-19 October, 2017, ITER Organization, France

4. Comment and proposal Partial model of the blanket or small scale blanket module should be considered. for the blanket functional test, not only tritium release but also nuclear heating. to assess irradiation effect in the breeding/multiplying materials including impact on the tritium permeation 33rd Meeting of the ITPA Topical Group on Diagnostics, 16-19 October, 2017, ITER Organization, France
