Abstract:
Fusion energy becomes essential to solve the energy problem with the increase of energy demands. Although the recent studies of fusion energy have demonstrated the feasibility of fusion power, it commonly realizes that more hard work is needed on neutronics and safety before real application of fusion energy. A high intensity D-T fusion neutron generator is keenly needed for the...

As part of the conceptual design studies for a European DEMO, a programme of safety studies and analyses is performed, intended to help guide the design process by assessing the safety and environmental impact of design options under consideration. They also begin to prepare for the eventual licensing of DEMO construction and operation by a European nuclear regulator. A safety approach has...

'Fusion for Energy' (F4E) is designing, developing, and implementing the European Helium-Cooled Lithium-Lead (HCLL) and Helium-Cooled Pebble-Bed (HCPB) Test Blanket Systems (TBSs) for ITER. Safety demonstration is an essential element for the integration of these TBSs into ITER and accident analysis is one of its critical components. The F4E, Amec Foster Wheeler and INL comprehensive...

The ASTEC code has been recently extended to address the analysis of the main design basis accident scenarios in fusion installations, more particularly in the ITER facility. Current efforts are focused on loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) because a strong reactivity between beryllium toxic dust and steam leading to possible formation of gaseous beryllium oxide, hydroxide and hydride during the...
