Start-up and shutdown thermomechanical transient analyses of the IFMIF European lithium target system

Analysis of the thermomechanical behavior of the IFMIF bayonet target assembly under design loading scenarios

“…While the results of the analyses referring to nominal operating conditions have been presented in [7] and in [8] for steady state and transients cases respectively, the main outcomes for two selected design scenarios (a "hot" scenario and a "cold" scenario) are reported and discussed in this paper.…”
