Abstract:
Test Blanket Module(TBM) is a key component of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER).Its design involves multi-disciplinary optimization analysis.The design description of blanket concept based on a solid breeder,a helium cooling,high temperature structural materials and beryllium multiplier is introduced.To validate the blanket concept,the thermal-mechanical analysis has been per-formed for the proposed design blanket models.The analysis results show that the highest temperature and thermal stress in each unit of the blanket do not exceed the limits.Therefore,the proposed blanket concept is safe and reliable under normal operation conditions.
