Neutronics calculations of the INTOR blanket with austenitic steel as structural material and low-Z coating

  • 1. Comissao Nacional de Energia Nuclear de Brasil, Rio de Janeiro

Description

Some characteristics of the first generation of fusion Experimental Power Reactors (EPR), such as a low-Z first wall coating and austenitic steel as structural material, are investigated when they are implemented for the INTOR blanket. Neutronic analysis was carried out to study the feasibility of those features to INTOR. So, the tritium breeding ratio, the nuclear heating, and the gas production inside the structural material were calculated to analyze the performance of the blanket. Graphite and beryllium are used as the first-wall coating material. (orig.)
