OSTI ID:6788834
It is planned to bulk-heat a unit cell of a fusion reactor solid-breeder blanket in a fission reactor to study thermo-mechanical and thermal-hydraulic properties of fusion blankets. This study investigates the neutronic feasibility of using the Power Burst Facility (PBF) for this purpose. Heating rates were calculated for a Li/sub 2/O experiment placed in the PBF test space. The ANISN code and a 56-group coupled neutron-gamma library based on FLUNG and VITAMIN C were used to compute the heating rates. The results show that an average heating rate level of 1-3 W/cc can be produced in PBF with a local power profile that should be typical of a fusion blanket unit cell.
