3 Lead-Lithium cooled Ceramic Breeder (LLCB)  Tritium Breeder: Lithium Ceramic pebbles; PbLi  Coolant: PbLi (multiplier and breeder);  FW coolant: Helium Gas;  Structural Material: Reduced Activation FMS  Purge gas: Helium, used for T extraction from CB (LLCB TBM in one half of ITER port) Helium Cooled Ceramic Breeder (HCCB)  Tritium Breeder: Lithium Ceramic pebbles;  Multiplier : Beryllium Pebbles;  Coolant : helium gas;  Structural Material: Reduced Activation FMS  Purge gas: Helium T extraction from CB (to participate as TBM Partner) Indian Blanket Concepts

4 Helium Cooled Ceramic Breeder(HCCB) concept

5 HCSB Concept (Toroidal-Radial Orientation) Features:  Similar to other solid breeder concepts.  With slight variance in the Tritium Breeder and Neutron multiplier bed design (Radial increase in the breeder bed thickness) Objective: -To increase the tritium breeding by accommodating more breeder material (with optimization of multiplier material volume) - To minimize the radial temperature gradient in the pebble beds

7 Input: Neutronic heat generation in HCSB TBM

8 Performance Analysis

9 Pebble Bed Arrangement (Toroidal-Radial) Pebble will settle down at the bottom, keeping some void space between the pebbles and top cooling plate.

18  In Toroidal-Radial orientation of pebble bed, the area of the cooling plate (heat transfer area) attached to the pebble bed is very large.  If the pebbles are settle down at the bottom, creating a finite gap between the cooling plate and the top surface of the pebbles, the large heat transfer area can not involve in transferring heat from CB to coolant. This leads to increase in CB temperature.  In Toroidal-Radial orientation of pebble bed, settling down of pebbles would not effect the heat transfer between the CB and coolant. Summary and Conclusions

19 Effect of the He purge gas to be introduced in the Radiative heat transfer analysis. Simulation and experimental comparison between various packing arrangements. Safety analysis of Blanket Modules. Fabrication of small scale mock-ups to demonstrate structural and pebble bed integrity. Future Work
