摘要
This work presents results of the neutronic analyses for an innovative Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) blanket concept for DEMO. Comprehensive 3D Monte Carlo particle transport simulations were performed with the MCNP5 code making use of a highly detailed HCPB DEMO torus sector model. The advanced HCPB Single Module Segmentation (SMS) blanket was consequently optimized to accomplish out the design requirements. A completely new Molten Lead Ceramic Breeder (MLCB) SMS blanket utilizing a solid breeder and a Pb neutron multiplier together was also investigated and proved to be an alternative option for DEMO design.
