Description

Neutronics optimization calculations have been performed for the tritium breeding blankets with solid ceramic breeder Li2O and liquid eutectic breeder Li17Pb83, respectively, based on a 2-D geometrical configuration using the Monte Carlo neutron-photon transport code MCNP/4B. The effects of beryllium, 6Li enrichment and various structural materials on Tritium Breeding Ratio have been systematically analyzed
