1 Overview of LLCB TBM for ITER Paritosh Chaudhuri Institute for Plasma Research Gandhinagar, INDIA CBBI-16, 8- 10 Sept. 2011, Portland, USA

2 Intruduction In India, development of Lead-Lithium Ceramic Breeder (LLCB) blanket is being performed as the primary candidate of Test Blanket Module (TBM) towards DEMO reactor. The LLCB TBM will be tested from the first phase of ITER operation (H-H phase) in one-half of a ITER port no-2. The Indian TBM R&D program is focused on the development and characterization of materials: structural (IN-RAFMS), breeding materials (Pb–Li, Li2TiO3) and development of technologies for Lead-Lithium Systems, Helium Cooling Systems, Tritium Extraction Systems, TBM manufacturing and coatings.

3 Indian TBM Program Lead-Lithium cooled Ceramic Breeder (LLCB)  Tritium Breeder: Lithium Titanate;  Coolant: Pb-Li eutectic alloy (multiplier and breeder)  FW coolant: Helium Gas;  Structural Material : Reduced Activation FMS  Helium purge gas for T extraction from CB India is developing Lead-Lithium cooled Ceramic Breeder (LLCB) TBM for testing in ITER Port No-2 with position of TBM Leader.

The shield and vacuum vessel has been made using the intersection of concentric tori and concentric cylinders.  TBM dimensions are taken as 1.66 x0.484x0.518 m^3 (pol x tor x rad ). TBM geometry has been modeled using the parallel planes.  A 20 cm thick water jacket has been placed around the TBM. 100 cm thick shield plug has been put after the TBM.

10 Preliminary LLCB TBM shield block design  The TBM in ITER will attenuate the flux ~1 order magnitude  To reduce dose rates this flux should be further reduced (~10 6 n/cm 2 /s) for safety and maintenance purpose  The shield block consists of 60 % SS 316 LN and 40 % water (DM) LLCB TBM + Shield Block in Frame assembly LLCB TBM Shield block Shield Flange with lip seal Frame Assembly Schematic Reference Solid TBM Sub-modules

11 LLCB TBM Thermal Hydraulic

12 Thermal Hydraulics of ITER TBM Main Objectives: To optimize a suitable design of FW cooling w.r.t. Neutron wall load and heat flux. To estimate the temperature and thermal stresses of all materials used in the blanket module and ensure these values are within design limits. To keep the temperatures of ceramic breeder zones within the temperature window for effective Tritium release To optimize the flow parameters (velocity, pressure)

20 Indian RAFMS Development: - Composition Achieved - Melts are under characterization (Microstructure & Mechanical properties) Lead-Lithium Technologies development: - Lead-Lithium production - Pb-Li Corrosion experiments - Full scale Pb-Li loop development R&D Activities under progress (1/2) Ceramic Pebbles Fabrication: -Lab scale pebbles (Lithium Titanate) successfully fabricated - Pebble bed characteristics are under investigation -Large scale production plans are under progress

21 Helium Loop development -¼ the size loop development plan - Small scale TBM testing Tritium Extraction Systems development -H/D extraction from Helium purge gas -H/D extraction from Pb-Li - Permeation Analysis R&D Activities under progress (2/2)

22 RAFM steel is a structural material under development for fusion reactor applications. Several fabrication processes for the production of TBM sub- components and assembly need to be investigated in the developmental program. For the fabrication of sub-components (first wall, stiffening plates, cooling plates and caps) using the Indian RAFMS different options are being considered to investigate its fabricability: HIP process, EB welding, Laser and Narrow Gap TIG welding. Work under Progress

23 EB welding on 6 mm thick austenitic stainless steel plates. Welds of this structure cleared both ultrasonic examination and radiography. Virtually no distortion was observed in this structure. It is planned to make similar structures using RAFM steel plates to gain experience in fabrication. Initial trials for First wall small scale mock-up by HIP process were carried out using stainless steel discs with pre-machined slots for making internal channels. Fig.6 shows the hipped part.

24 Cutting of straight square channel by wire EDM followed by hot bending. advantage of this approach is that there will be no mating surface and therefore, no lack of bonding. However, challenges remain in cutting such a long square channel by wire EDM. Alternative approach for FW fabrication

25 Summary  The major areas of R&D activities are: - Development of technologies of circulators, heat exchangers and diagnostics for Lead-Lithium Systems, HCS, LL, TES - Lead-Lithium Loop developments: - MHD studies: - Li2TiO3 Ceramic Pebbles development  The RpRs report on safety analysis have been submitted, further detail work is in progress.  Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), collaboration with Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) and other research institutions and universities within India involve the R&D activities focusing on ITER-TBM systems development.
