The total tritium breeding ratio (TBR) is ∼1.07.
The tritium breeding ratio (TBR) must exceed unity by a certain margin.
Tritium breeding ratio is also compared for two coolant options: Li and LiPb eutectic.
However, Be12Ti may lead to a reduction in tritium breeding ratio (TBR).
With the combination of lithium oxide and beryllium, the tritium breeding ratio of the blankets including surrounding gaps was evaluated as higher than 1.20, leading to a net tritium breeding ratio higher than 1.05.
They are keff, energy multiplication factor, neutron absorption ratio, tritium breeding ratio, waste transmutation ratio, support ratio and radiotoxicity reduction.
In this study, neutronics characteristic of HCCB blanket such as tritium breeding ratio (TBR) and shielding were assessed.
The conceptual design achieves a breeding ratio of 1.034 and an average fuel burnup of 74.5 GWdMTHM.
Nuclear quantities such as: neutron flux, tritium breeding ratio, nuclear heating, displacement damage and helium production are reported.
A significant rise of both quantities would enhance the thermal performance and lead to an increased tritium breeding ratio.
In this neutronics study simulations were performed using MCNP 6.1 to find the tritium breeding ratio, energy multiplication and the volumetric heat loads of different blanket designs.
