A partial mock-up of a breeding blanket structure made of F82H steel has been successfully fabricated. In this study, microstructural observation and EDX analysis of the HIP interfaces were performed, and effects of irradiation on mechanical properties of the HIP-bonded region were also examined. Neutron irradiation was performed up to about 2 dpa at about 523 K. After the irradiation, tensile test was performed at temperatures of 295 and 523 K. The HIP interfaces possessed many precipitates, and enriched peak spectrum of chromium was detected from the precipitates. In addition, aspect of the spectrum was qualitatively equivalent to that of M$$_{23}$$C$$_{6}$$ in grain boundaries of F82H steel. In result, the HIP boundary has many M$$_{23}$$C$$_{6}$$ which were generally seen in grain boundaries of F82H steel. Rupture did not occur in the HIP interface. In result, it can be mentioned that bondability is maintained under the irradiation and testing conditions. The strength and elongation of the HIP-bonded region decreased somewhat in comparison with the results of an IEA standard steel.

Yamada, Hirokazu*; Kawamura, Hiroshi; Nagao, Yoshiharu; Takada, Fumiki; Kono, Wataru*

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 355(1-3), p.119 - 123, 2006/09

In this study, the bending properties of welding joint of irradiated material and un-irradiated material (irradiated/un-irradiated joints) were investigated using SS316LN-IG, which is the candidate material for the cooling pipe of ITER. The results of this study showed that the bending position of joints using un-irradiated material was un-irradiated part and that the bending position of irradiated/irradiated joints was fusion area or HAZ (heat affected zone). Although the bending position of joints was different bor the combination pattern between irradiated and un-irradiated materials, the bending strength of joint was almost same. Additionally, it is confirmed that bending strength did not depend on the combination pattern between the irradiated and un-irradiated materials, nor on the relationship between the heat input direction and the bending load direction.

Development of an RF-input coupler with a multi-loop antenna for the RFQ linac in IFMIF project

Maebara, Sunao; Moriyama, Shinichi; Saigusa, Mikio*; Sugimoto, Masayoshi; Imai, Tsuyoshi; Takeuchi, Hiroshi

 Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:17.15(Nuclear Science & Technology)

An RF-Input coupler with a multi-loop antenna using co-axial waveguides has been developed for the RFQ linac on IFMIF. In case of using a loop antenna, the loop antenna structure will affected phase difference and power balance in each cavity. A mock-up loop antenna using the pipe diameter of 10mm was fabricated, phase differences and power balances were measured by a low power test. It is found that it is necessary to shorten the installed depth up to 3 cm to make the phase differences and power balance small. But, from a withstanding voltage, it is difficult to couple multi-MW with the single coupler. The coupling with multi-loop antennas using two or four loops is better than one loop antenna from the point views of both withstanding voltage and power balance. The phase difference and power balance were also measured in both cases. A good average phase-difference of 179$$^{circ}$$. and a good RF power balance within 8% error for each cavity were obtained. These results showed one of feasibility for an RF-Input coupler with a multi-loop antenna in the IFMIF 175 MHz RFQ.

 Times Cited Count:41 Percentile:91.41(Nuclear Science & Technology)

In order to elucidate thermo-mechanical behaviour of the blanket with the water-cooled ceramic breeders, the effective thermal conductivity of a compressed Li$$_2$$TiO$$_3$$ pebble bed was measured by the hot wire method. The measurement chamber for the thermal conductivity was inserted into a tensile test-apparatus. Under controlled temperature, atmosphere and mechanical loads, the stress-strain property and the effective thermal conductivity of the pebble beds were measured simultaneously. At the temperatures ranging from 673 to 973K, increases of the effective thermal conductivity due to the compressive deformation were confirmed. In addition, it was found that history of the mechanical and thermal loads on the bed affected the thermo-mechanical properties of the pebble bed.

In negative ion based neutral beam injector (N-NBI) for JT-60U, some modifications for extent pulse duration from 10 second, which is design value, to 30 second was conducted. Main limit to prevent pulse extension was heat loads onto grounded grid in an ion source and onto beam limiter placed at 22 m from the ion source. To reduce these heat loads, beam extraction area was optimized and the limiter was changed to one which had about twice thermal capacity. As a result of these modifications, the temperature rise of the water which was cooling grounded grid could be suppressed under 40 degree, which can operate in steady state condition. The temperature rise of the limiter could be restricted to 60%. Untill now the beam pulse extended to 17 second of 1.6MW power at 366keV energy, and injection of 30 seconds will be achieved in next experiment.

In the IFMIF, activated erosion/corrosion materials of Li target back wall deposits on a surface of the Li loop. Therefore, accessibility during maintenance of the Li loop pipings will depend on the activation level of the deposition materials. This paper evaluates effect of target activation on the accessibility of the Li loop pipings. Activation level is calculated by the ACT-4 code. High energy cross section above 15 MeV is introduced using IEAF-2001 data. In this calculation, target material is stainless steel 316. Area of the erosion/corrosion in the back wall is 100 cm$$^{2}$$. The erosion/corrosion rate is 1 micron/y. Dose rate around the Li loop after one year IFMIF operation is evaluated assuming 1% deposition of the erosion/corrosion materials and uniform deposition on surface area of 33 m$$^{2}$$. Permissible level for hands-on maintenance is 10 microSv/hr. As the results, after 1 week from shutdown, close maintenance work 8 cm to the Li loop is possible. Also, after 1 month, hands-on maintenance becomes possible.

The ITER project has started preparation of Procurement Specification Documents for the vacuum vessel (VV). The design of the VV and FW/Blanket has progressed in many aspects, such as an double curvature pressing instead of facet shape welding for inner and outer shells in the upper and lower inboard regions to improve the fabrication and NDT process. The plasma facing surface of the FW has been defined to avoid protruding the leading edges, especially in the inboard area. Separate FW panels are supported with a central beam, and selection of a race-track shape cross-section for the central beam provides a more robust structure against halo current EM loads and also leads to a new cooling configuration in the shield block, where the pressure drop is significantly reduced to $$sim$$0.05 MPa. A UT R&D program is also going on to achieve acceptable S/N ratio for small-angle launching waves (20-30 deg.) to a weld. Hydraulic testing has been performed to demonstrate natural convection cooling in the transient condition.

The ITER superconducting magnet system stores energy of 50 GJ during plasma operation, and generates an average heat load of 23 kW at 4 K to cryoplant. The helium is distributed to the coil through 30 separate feeder lines. The feeders also contain the electrical supplies to the coil and are integrated into the current lead transition to room temperature. The interface components between the coils and the service facilities (power supply and cryogenic plant) consist of the in-cryostat feeders, the cryostat feedthroughs, and the coil terminal boxes (CTBs). The cryostat feedthroughs with S-bend boxes allow thermal contraction of the magnet system. The layout of the in-cryostat feeders takes into consideration routing restrictions in the cryostat and initial assembly with other Tokamak components. The forced-flow-cooled current leads with a conventional copper heat exchanger in the CTBs are adapted to fit in the limited space in the building. This paper presents the latest design concept and parameters of the feeder components.

Nuclear analyses of some key aspects of the ITER design with Monte Carlo codes

Iida, Hiromasa; Petrizzi, L.*; Khripunov, V.*; Federici, G.*; Polunovskiy, E.*

Fusion Engineering and Design, 75(1-4), p.133 - 139, 2005/11

The design of the ITER machine was presented in 2001. A nuclear analysis has been performed on ITER by means of the most detailed models and the best assessed nuclear data and codes. As the construction phase of ITER is approaching, the design of the main components has been optimized/finalized and several minor design changes/optimizations have been made, which required refined calculations to confirm that nuclear design requirements are met. Some of the proposed design changes have been made to mitigate critical radiation shielding problems. This paper reviews some of the most recent neutronic work with emphasis on critical nuclear responses in the TF coil inboard legs and vacuum vessel related to design modifications made to the blanket modules and vacuum vessel.
