1 Neutronics Issues for Final Optics of HAPL Mohamed Sawan, Ahmad Ibrahim, Tim Bohm, Paul Wilson Fusion Technology Institute University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI HAPL Project Meeting Santa Fe, NM April 8-9, 2008

2 HAPL Final Optics Issues Addressed
Determine nuclear environment at steel vacuum vessel lining the final optics ducts as well as possible steel support for GIMM Assess impact of shielding configuration options on nuclear environment at final optics

3 Design Parameters Used in Analysis
Target yield MJ Rep Rate Hz Fusion power MW Chamber inner radius m Thickness of Li/FS blanket 0.6 m Thickness of SS/B4C/He shield 0.5 m Chamber outer radius m GIMM angle of incidence 85° GIMM distance from target 24 m

4 Nuclear Environment at SS VV Lining Beam Duct and Possible GIMM Support
0.32 W/cc 0.63 dpa/FPY 11.5 He appm/FPY 0.15 W/cc 0.3 dpa/FPY 5 He appm/FPY W/cc dpa/FPY 0.004 He appm/FPY 1 W/cc 2 dpa/FPY 30 He appm/FPY 0.01 W/cc 0.01 dpa/FPY 0.02 He appm/FPY 0.003 W/cc 0.003 dpa/FPY 0.006 He appm/FPY

5 Observations on Nuclear Environment Results at SS VV
All steel lining the laser beam ducts will survive the full 40 FPY plant lifetime with total cumulative damage << 200 dpa For a 1 He appm rewelding limit, rewelding will not be possible for the SS vacuum vessel lining the beam ducts except at Steel lining of the duct around the focusing and turning mirrors

6 Shielding Configuration Options Assessed
Bio-Shield Turning (M3) GIMM (M1) Beam Duct Focusing (M2) Shield Blanket Option I: All optics including GIMM enclosed in concrete shield Good support for GIMM Eliminates streaming contribution from other ports Small volume under vacuum Might be steering streaming neutrons towards dielectric focusing and turning mirrors Might require large amount of concrete

7 Shielding Configuration Options Assessed
Option II: Only focusing and turning mirrors enclosed in concrete shield with GIMM left in open space between chamber and larger containment building Bio-Shield Turning (M3) GIMM (M1) Focusing (M2) Shield Blanket GIMM support is challenging Large volume between chamber and containment building should be maintained under vacuum (could be reduced by using steel beam duct between chamber and bio-shield) Possible large contribution from neutrons streaming through other ports Might reduce amount of required concrete Could reduce flux at dielectric mirrors by eliminating the “steering” effect in long duct

8 Shielding Configuration Options Assessed
Option III: Only focusing and turning mirrors enclosed in concrete shield with neutron trap added at inner surface of containment building behind GIMM Bio-Shield Turning (M3) GIMM (M1) Focusing (M2) Shield Blanket Neutron Trap GIMM support is challenging Large volume between chamber and containment building should be maintained under vacuum (could be reduced by using steel beam duct between chamber and bio-shield) Might reduce amount of required concrete Could eliminate “steering” effect in long duct Neutron traps reduce contribution from neutrons streaming through other ports

9 Peak Fast Neutron Flux (n/cm2s)
Fast Neutron Flux at Final Optics with Different Shielding Configuration Options Option I Option II Option III Peak Fast Neutron Flux (n/cm2s) Option I Option II Option III GIMM 1.39x1013 1.37x1013 Focusing Mirror 2.36x1010 4.27x1010 4.03x1010 Turning Mirror 3.18x108 4.30x108 8.32x108

10 Fast Neutron Flux Distribution in Final Optics of HAPL
GIMM M2 M3 Flux (n/cm2s) Option I Option II Option III

11 Dominating Effect for Fast Flux Level at Focusing Mirror
Option I Option II Option III Which of these is the dominant effect? “Steering” of streaming neutrons in beam duct of option I Contribution from neutrons streaming through all ports in the “open” configuration of options II and III Results clearly show that dominating effect is enhanced contribution from other ports in the “open” configuration This is confirmed by comparing results for options I and II that show increased secondary neutron and gamma fluxes at focusing mirror E<0.1 MeV neutron flux is x4 higher in option II Gamma flux is x3 higher in option II

12 Preferred Final Optics Shielding Configuration
Option I Option II Option III Preferred configuration is the original Option I where all optics including the GIMM are enclosed in concrete shield Results in lowest radiation levels at the dielectric focusing and turning mirrors Allows for better GIMM support Reduces volume inside containment building maintained under vacuum Requires the least amount of concrete Relative amount of concrete: 1, 1.12, and 1.14 for options I, II, and III

13 Conclusions All steel VV lining laser beam ducts will survive the full 40 FPY plant lifetime Rewelding will not be possible for SS VV lining of beam ducts except around the focusing and turning mirrors Original shielding configuration with all optics including GIMM enclosed in concrete shield is the preferred option since it yields lowest flux at dielectric mirrors, provides better GIMM support, reduces volume under vacuum, and requires least amount of concrete
