Neutronics studies of the gas-carried lithium oxide cooling--breeding fusion reactor blanket and shield

  • 1. Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison

Description

The neutronics and photonics of the gas-carried Li2O blanket have been studied. The blankets studied consist of 20 to 30% Li2O solid particles and 2% Type 316 stainless-steel structural material in volume. The Li2O blanket can achieve a high tritium breeding ratio without a neutron multiplier due to its high lithium atom density. The effects of the design variations on the tritium breeding ratio and total nuclear heating are summarized
