Thermal resistance gaps for solid breeder blankets using packed beds

Conference · · Fusion Technol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6026633
The main design features of a new concept for solid breeder blanket thermal resistance gaps are described and analysis is shown for the blanket thermal characteristics. The effective thermal conductivity of a helium-beryllium packed bed configuration is studied, including the effect of a purge stream. Possible applications of this concept to ITER blanket designs are stressed.
