The Effects of the Different Tritium Breeding Materials to Fusil and Fisil Fuel Breeding in a ThSi2 Fuelled- Flibe Moderated Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor

In this work, in a ThSi2 fuelled-flibe moderated fusion-fission reactor in the tritium breeding zones of the reactor are used four different Li compound, respectively, Li2TiO3, Li2ZrO3, Li4SiO4 and Li2O. D-T fusion reactions are used as a fusion neutron source which produces 14.1 MeV neutrons with averaged energy. Fusil and fissile fuel breeding rates, fission energy breeding rates and fission power production are investigated for Delta t=10 days during a reactor operation period in four years. In tritium breeding zones used Li2O of the reactor provided highest fusil breeding rate whereas, highest value of fissile breeding and production of the fission energy are reached with using of Li2TiO3 and Li2ZrO3 in tritium breeding zones of the blanket.
