Nuclear analysis of the HCLL blanket for the European DEMO

Résumé

This paper presents the nuclear analysis of the European DEMO baseline 2015 with HCLL blanket carried out with the TRIPOLI-4® Monte Carlo code and the JEFF-3.2 nuclear data library. The TRIPOLI-4® model was imported from CAD using the McCad tool. A procedure that generates the detailed 3D model describing all the HCLL blanket internal structures was developed. This procedure allows parametrization of the blanket internal structures such as the number of cooling plates, manifolds, etc. and the thickness of the stiffening grid for instance. Different design variants were studied to improve the tritium production. From this previous study a complete nuclear analysis was carried out on a promising design which is a compromise between tritium production and mechanical robustness. All criteria (TBR, nuclear heating in coils and displacement damage in vacuum vessel) are met using this new reference design.
