A thin LiPb/Be helium cooled blanket for MINIMARS: Neutronics analysis

  • 1. Univ. of Wisconsin, Fusion Technology Institute, Nuclear Engineering Dept., 1500 Johnson Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1687

Description

The need for a thin blanket design in fusion reactor provides a driving force to improve the performance of a LiPb-type blanket through adding a moderator to the breeder to soften the neutron spectrum and, thus, enhance the tritium breeding. As a result, the LiPb blanket performed much better with a beryllium moderator and the design of a 0.17 m thick blanket has become feasible
