ITER will pay a very important role in first integrated blanket testing in fusion environment. Some DEMO blanket relevant technologies, such as tritium-breeding self-sufficiency, exaction of high-grade heat, safety requirement, and design criteria will be demonstrated in ITER test blanket modules (TBMs).

China planed to develop independently own TBM for testing during ITER operation period based on China’s DEMO definition and development strategy.

The preliminary design and analysis of HC-SB TBM have been carried out recently. Possible collaborations on TBM R&D with other partiers have been proposed.

Definition of DEMO in China The DEMO in China is to demonstrate the safety,

reliability and environment feasibility of the fusion power plants, meanwhile to demonstrate the prospective economic feasibility of the commercial fusion power plants.

Utilization of fusion energy have still a long way to go towards an economically commercial power plant. DEMO in China should be an indispensable step prior to the commercial application.

In addition, China is interested in non-electric applications of fusion energy, such as HLW disposal and hydrogen production, etc.; we expect that these applications will benefit the ultimate development of the fusion power plants.

Two options of breeding blanket with ceramic and lead lithium-lead breeders might be chosen as China’s DEMO blanket concepts under the conditions of meeting the requirement of the neutronics, thermo-hydraulics and mechanics aspects.

Safety Analysis of CH HC-SB TBM

Direction: The relevant safety analysis is need to meet the requirements in GSSR and French Nuclear Safety Authority (NSA); For each component all the possible failure modes, in the various operating phases, will be evaluated.

Progress: Some results of safety analysis are presented in the CH HC-SB TBM DDD report last year.

A safety working group (SWG) in China for licensing, QA and safety report of CH TBM, which consists of State Nuclear Safety Bureau, State Environment Protection Bureau and design institutions, will be organized soon. A systematic approach ( FMEA) will be established after determining all components and sub-systems;

Total afterheat generated from each material

A total activity of 5.43×105 Ci is attained at shutdown with a contribution of 5.39× 105Ci from the structure, 3.7×103Ci from the Li4SiO4.

At shutdown, the total decay heat is ~8.77× 10-3 MW with a contribution of 8.71× 10-3 MW and 6.36× 10-5 MW from structure material and Li4SiO4, respectively.

Safety Analysis for CH HC-SB TBM (cont.)? LOCA and reliability analysis

Pressure transients from different models vs. time

Temperature changes of materials after the end of blow-down

LOCA analysis shows depressurization of the TBM helium coolant occurs within 10 to 15 s. Contribution to the pressure build-up in the VV is small (17.8 kPa). Tritium and activation products released from the TBM into the VV are insignificant compared to the total amount mobilized from non-TBM components. The TBM FW temperature can be kept, after the disruption burst has decayed variant to the reference case, with postulated unlimited steam access to the pebble beds, the estimated hydrogen production is the order of g only and the chemical heat is negligible.

Irradiation Test on High Flux Reactors

China has built a High Flux Engineering Test Reactor (HFETR) in the China Institute of Nuclear Power (CINP) . HFETR is a largest one in Asia.

Neutron Flux: Thermal neutrons : 6.2×1014 n/cm2•sec; (E<0.625eV) Fast neutrons : 1.7 ×1015 n/cm2•sec; (E>0.625eV) 235U of 90% enriched in U fuel. Total power: 125 MW (th)

In addition, there are two sets experiment reactors with power of 20MW and 40MW are constructing in CIAE and CAEP of China.

These facilities and their ability are useful for the irradiation experiment of the TBM structure materials, tritium breeders, neutron multiplier etc.

High Temperature He Experiment Loop

A High Temperature He Experiment Loop (HTHEL) with 700 OC and 8-10 MPa, which is useful for HC-SB TBM design and R&D activities, is proposed to be built in SWIP.

China has built a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The technologies and experiences gained in HTGR project will be useful.

Temp.: 900 OC, Total Power: 10MW Pressure: 3 MPa

Solid Breeder Technology China has studied tritium-processing technology supported by

national fusion program for many years. Knowledge accumulated in this field is useful for the TBM tritium technology.

Two kinds of ceramic breeder( Li4SiO4 , Li2TiO3 ), are developing in China.
