Abstract

Based on analyses of the Dual Functional Lithium Lead-Test Blanket Module (DFLL-TBM) submitted to International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Test Blanket Working Group (TBWG), the influence to ITER safety was evaluated by analyzing the typical transient accidents related to DFLL-TBM system. The transient accidents include in-vessel TBM coolant leaks, in-TBM breeder box coolant leaks and ex-vessel TBM coolant leaks. The results show that DFLL-TBM has the ability to remove the decay heat by thermal radiation when transient accidents occur, and the structures of the TBM would not melt. The DFLL-TBM can meet the ITER safety requirements on thermal aspect.
