Status of maturation of critical technologies and systems design: Breeding blanket

The scope of the EUFOfusion Work Package Breeding Blanket is to develop a blanket concept for the EU DEMO reactor; this includes the blanket segments inside the Vacuum Vessel and the related Tritium Extraction/Removal Systems. In the Pre-Concept Design (PCD) Phase, two concepts have been selected as candidates; a solid and a liquid breeder blanket cooled with helium and water, respectively. The design of these two blanket systems has been adapted to the DEMO plant design developed in the PCD Phase and performances assessed. A large R&D programme has been implemented with the scope to evaluate different technologies for these blankets; including the development of breeders, tritium extraction and cooling technologies, and the manufacturing of the blanket system. A major milestone in the subsequent Concept Design Phase is the final selection of the blanket concept for DEMO

Operation and Utilisation of the High Flux Reactor - Annual Report 2006

The High Flux Reactor (HFR) of Petten is owned by the Institute for Energy (IE) of the EC-DG JRC and managed and operated by NRG who are also responsible for commercial activities. The HFR, operated at 45 MW of the tank-in-pool type, light water cooled and moderated, is one of the most powerful multi-purpose materials testing reactors in the world and one of the world leaders in target irradiation for the production of medical radioisotopes.JRC.F.3-High Flux and Future Reactor
