Consequences of a tube rupture in a fusion-reactor blanket

Description

Recent fusion reactor conceptual designs have proposed the use of pressurized water as the coolant for the first wall and blanket. Much is known from fission reactors about the thermal hydraulics of pressurized water including accidents in which some of the coolant is lost. However, in the design of first walls and blankets for fusion reactors, the consequences of a cooling tube failure within the blanket are not yet clearly understood. This paper analyzes the effects of such off-normal events on fusion reactor components
