JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Outline  Alternate chamber concepts  Driver-chamber interface work  Neutron damage modeling

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. We are tasked with consideration of alternate chamber concepts  We are to consider this as a multi-year (~ 5) program: –Current budget is $410K per year –Analytical and/or experimental activities are appropriate  We view this as an opportunity to revisit some older concepts (with modern data and tools) as well as a chance to be very creative/develop new concepts  We will develop a plan to initially pursue 2-3 concepts; some down-selection may occur at a later date  We will leverage off of LLNL strengths: –target design –chamber design & response to target emissions –liquid concepts

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Most of our team has been assembled  Jeff Latkowski  Wayne Meier  Ralph Moir  Charles Orth  Susana Reyes  Dave Steich  Mike Tobin  Don Blackfield may be joining us later in the year

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Our approach for the next few months  For each concept, we will begin by assuming that it will actually work: –We will perform basic analyses for each concept –We will determine the benefits/advantages of each concept  We will perform a thorough literature search: –Identify key issues/holes for each concept –Ensure that the physics is sound –Assess the technical risk inherent to each concept  Our decisions (regarding which concepts to pursue) will be made by a trade-off between the potential benefits and the technical risk

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Magnetic deflection/protection  Pros: –May reduce/eliminate ion loading on first wall –May increase plant efficiency/reduce COE with direct conversion  Cons: –Still need to deal with x-rays (less energy but higher power) –Need to protect magnets –Magnets may be large and power hungry –Field instabilities an issue? –Must deal with many penetrations/non-ideal geometry –Difficult to deal with ~ 100 ns pulses?  Other comments: –Tweak target design to increase ions/decrease x-rays? –Only one design (LANL, 1974) with self-consistent parameters has been completed to date

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Photon and ion attenuation in carbon and tungsten Source: R. Raffray, March ARIES Meeting

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Sample of a magnetically protected first wall I.O. Bohachevski et al., Nuclear Technology/Fusion, 1, 390 (1981)

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Liquid walls will be investigated  Pros: –Renewable surface to deal with ions and x-rays –Considerable work has been performed on liquid walls  Cons: –Liquid condensation/re-establishment of protective film for next shot –Flow control is a big issue –Fabrication of porous structures –Flow around beamports and on inverted surfaces –Response of thin film to x-rays and debris –Flow of vapor up beamlines  Other comments: –Could consider “advanced” molecular liquid (if wetted-wall design) that would breakdown into gases that could be pumped to ease chamber clearing –Move to an indirect-drive, distributed-radiator target?

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Fast ignition offers many potential advantages  The potential advantages of fast ignition overlap all areas of IFE: heavy ions, KrF, DPSSL, direct-, and indirect-drive  Given: –Tremendous international interest in fast ignition –Recent Japanese results –Interest in US in building high-powered lasers  We feel that it is to our benefit to get ahead of the curve on fast ignition  we will perform analyses for how one might implement fast ignition in a laser-IFE power plant  We will attempt to answer the question: “Even in the event that it does work, is there a systems-level analysis that holds together?”

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg. Plan for rest of calendar year  Devote ~ 2 person-months to each of 2-4 concepts  Conduct thorough literature searches and simple calculations  Write report with a detailed work plan for each concept: –Analyses that are needed –Codes that need to be imported, modified, created –Data that are required (e.g., detailed target output) –Experiments that are needed to demonstrate feasibility

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg.  Model differed from the baseline Sombrero design: –Transmissive final optic at 30 m –Total open solid-angle fraction of the beams was 5%  Final optic doses: –8.7 krad/s n krad/s  (2.8  rad/FPY n  rad/FPY  ) –Doses are ~ 20% lower than those obtained with a mono-energetic (14.1 MeV) source. Here, we account for scattering within the target (  r = 3 g/cm 2 ). –Given these values, Steve Payne (LANSCE) irradiation of fused silica samples to rad is equivalent to ~ 4.6 full-power-months for an IFE final optic 6.5 meters 30 meters Summary of DPSSL-Sombrero results for the final optic

JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg.  Final optic fluxes: –9.7  n/cm 2 -s   /cm 2 -s –9.1  n/cm 2 -s fast neutron flux (E n > 0.1 MeV) –These are a few percent higher than observed with a 14.1 MeV source; The target emits neutrons per source neutron due to (n,2n) reactions  Final optic gas production: –H = 27.5 appm/FPY –He = 69.1 appm/FPY  Final optic impurity production: –C = 54.1 appm/FPY –N = 1.6 appm/FPY –Mg = 14.9 appm/FPY –Al = 3.9 appm/FPY Final optic summary, (Cont’d.)

Modeling damage in chamber materials Effect of pulse irradiation in Fe has been modeled using this approach for different pulse frequencies and compared to continuum irradiation No significant difference has been observed between continuum irradiation and 1Hz pulses at very low doses Simulations must be followed to higher doses Fusion irradiation simulated by a multiscale model Neutron spectrum at the first wall Defects for each recoil from molecular dynamics simulations Defect accumulation and migration using kinetic Monte Carlo JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg.

Modeling damage in chamber materials: work in progress The Brenner hydrocarbon potential is being implemented into our parallel molecular dynamics code to model graphite. Database of defects produced in graphite by recoils ~ 10s of keVs Migration energies of defects in graphite JFL—5/01 HAPL Mtg.

Summary  Alternate chamber concepts work is underway: –Preliminary literature survey completed –Will consider magnetic deflection, liquid walls, and fast ignition –Will produce detailed work plan for each concept by end of CY  3-D neutronics analysis for DPSSL-driven version of Sombrero was completed: –Final optic dose: 2.8  rad/FPY n –Samples have been irradiated to rad (see later talk for details)  Neutron damage modeling for chambers has begun: –Hydrocarbon potentials are being implemented –Defect database is under construction
