The European test blanket module systems: Design and integration in ITER

Influence of helium cooling channels on magnetohydrodynamic flows in the HCLL blanket

“…The layout of the meandering channels is described in [8] for the solid breeder blanket concept. It is analogous in the HCLL blanket [9].…”

HETRA experiment for investigation of heat removal from the first wall of helium-cooled-pebble-bed test blanket module

“…The Helium-Cooled-Pebble-Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB TBM) developed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (former Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe) is one of two blanket concepts chosen in the Frame of the European Blanket Program as a DEMO relevant blanket [1]. This blanket module has as outer boundary a Helium cooled steel structure named the First Wall (FW).…”

The HCLL Test Blanket Module system: Present reference design, system integration in ITER and R&D needs

“…It belongs to Liquid Breeder blanket family for which each of the seven ITER Parties envisages DEMO-relevant TBM testing in ITER [1]. Since it is expected to install the HCLL-TBMs systems on day one of ITER operations, the development of designs and related R&D are intensively running since several years in the various EURATOM associations under the coordination of EFDA [2][3][4]. The following sections give an overview of the recent developments performed for the HCLL-TBM concept, including its integration in the ITER machine.…”
