Me. Sawan et La. Elguebaly, NEUTRONICS AND SHIELDING RESULTS OF THE US INTERNATIONAL THERMONUCLEAR EXPERIMENTAL REACTOR BLANKET TRADE-OFF STUDY, Fusion engineering and design, 28, 1995, pp. 551-558
Detailed neutronics and shielding analyses have been performed for the
different International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) bla
nket design options considered in the ITER blanket option trade-off st
udy. The options considered included a self-cooled Li/V option, a heli
um-cooled Li/V option, ferritic steel designs with helium-cooled first
wall and liquid metal (Li or LiPb) cooled blanket, the conceptual des
ign activity (CDA) design option, and a water-cooled 316 stainless ste
el (SS) non-breeding shield option. Among the tritium breeding blanket
design options, the self-cooled Li/V option has the highest breeding
potential while the CDA blanket design option has the best shielding p
erformance. Additional shielding improvement is achieved by using a no
n-breeding SS/H2O shield.
