Description

An in-depth analysis of the INTOR tritium production blanket design is presented. A ternary system of solid silicate breeder, lead neutron multiplier, and graphite moderator is explored primarily from safety and blanket tritium inventory considerations. Lithium-silicate (Li/sub 2/SiO/sub 3/) breeder systems are studied along with water (H/sub 2/O/D/sub 2/O) and Type 316 stainless steel as coolant and structural material, respectively. The analysis examines the neutronics effects on tritium production regarding: (1) coolant choice; (2) moderator choice; (3) moderator location; (4) multiplier thickness; (5) /sup 6/Li enrichment; and (6) /sup 6/Li burnup
