Design development and analytical assessment of LLCB TBM in Russian Federation during 2012–2013

Abstract The activity on the design, analysis, and RD – thermal analysis (in both stationary and transient approaches) of TBM design options (four variations of helium and eutectic flowing directions); – structural analysis of TBM design elements for Inductive I operation mode; and – recommendations (based upon the results of comparative analysis) on the reference design to be used on further stages of concept development. The critical issues and further plans on the development of LLCB TBM and corresponding DEMO blanket in the RF are also presented in this article.
