Japanese contributions to blanket design for ITER

Abstract

ITER, the first integrated fusion nuclear experimental reactor, will be equipped with tritium breeding blanket to produce tritium required for the ITER operation, in which annual tritium consumption will reach 6 kg. All participants (Japan, the EC, the USA and the USSR) in the ITER CDA (Conceptual Design Activity) have conducted conceptual design of ITER blanket (cooling water temperature {<=} 100degC) utilizing their own technology bases. Because of superiority of currently available data base and technology, solid breeder blanket has been selected as the first option among many proposals including the solid breeder blankets, the liquid metal blankets and the aqueous lithium salt blankets. This report describes the results of the following design and analytical studies on the Japanese proposal of Li{sub 2}O pebble type blanket : 1) blanket structural concepts, 2) neutronics, 3) thermal-hydraulics, 4) mechanical characteristics, 5) tritium recovery process and tritium inventory, and 7) fabrication and assembly technology.
