An attempt to incorporate experimental data in the Breeding Blanket First Wall design and safety analysis

Abstract An experimental program in support of the code validation and component qualification for the EU‐ DEMO Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) breeding blanket is under progress at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. As part of this program, a First Wall (FW) mock‐up ‐ representing about 1/3 of the heated zone of an ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM) First Wall ‐ has been tested in HELOKA facility in 2018.
