“…Two types of blanket, HCSB (He-Cooled Solid Breeder) and DFLL [19][20][21], have been chosen to meet the requirement of the neutronics, thermal-hydraulics and mechanics aspects. Therefore, CN DEMO has two options of tritium breeding concepts, HCSB [16] and DFLL [7], which are tabulated in Table 1 and shown in Figs.…”

“…The CH HCSB TBM is one of two blanket concepts chosen in the frame of the China blanket program as a China DEMO relevant blanket [8]. Distinguish features of this concept are the use of the ceramic breeder and the beryllium multiplier in form of pebble beds, which are separated and cooled by cooling/stiffening plates.…”

“…The tritium breeding blanket is an important part of fusion reactor due to its functionality of tritium production which will provide the fuel self‐sufficiency to the reactor and also take out the energy deposited by neutrons to utilize in power production 11‐13 . There are many design concepts proposed worldwide for breeding blankets, 14‐25 India is also working on lead lithium cooled ceramic breeder (LLCB) blanket concept and helium cooled ceramic breeder (HCCB) concepts for Indian DEMO 25‐28 . HCCB concept has beryllium as neutron multiplier and lithium titanate as tritium breeder.…”

Summary Helium cooled dual breeder (HCDB) blanket concept is designed for Indian DEMO fusion reactor and it is made of two tritium breeder materials PbLi and Li2TiO3. It has helium as a coolant and the India specific RAFMS as a structural material. High‐pressure helium first cools the plasma facing first‐wall and after that, it will extract heat from PbLi and ceramic breeder. Since PbLi is not used as a coolant, it therefore circulates with a low flow rate. It will overcome the corrosion and MHD issues associated with high temperature and high flow rate of PbLi. The idea behind the concept is to make a design which can be made using the existing blanket materials, extract high‐grade heat from the reactor and also enhance the availability. In HCDB blanket the role of neutron multiplier is done by PbLi, an alternative to the beryllium and it eliminates the issue associated with high toxic beryllium handling. It can be a potential tritium breeding blanket concept along with lead lithium cooled ceramic breeder (LLCB) and helium cooled ceramic breeder (HCCB) for near term Indian demonstration nuclear fusion power plant. In order to realize the HCDB conceptual design, preliminary estimations of tritium production, nuclear heat density have been carried out. The thermal behaviors of the HCDB blanket in Indian DEMO conditions have been also assessed and reported here. The assessment establishes the proof of HCDB blanket concept and supports it to be a good alternate blanket candidate for the Indian DEMO. The paper describes the HCDB concept along with analysis to verify the tritium self‐sufficiency and materials temperature limits.
