We propose a new activity on verification and validation (V&V) of MHD codes presently employed by the fusion community as a predictive capability tool for liquid metal cooling applications, such as liquid metal blankets. ...

En el interior de los canales de metal l quido de las envolturas regeneradoras de un reactor de fusi on, la posibilidad de existencia de burbujas de helio nucleado no es remota. El helio se forma junto al tritio en ...

Within the framework of EUROfusion Program, the Dual Coolant Lithium Lead (DCLL) is one of the four EU breeder blanket concepts that are being investigated as candidates for DEMO. DCLL uses PbLi as the main coolant, tritium ...

In Nuclear Fusion Technology, MHD flows can be encountered in liquid metal (LM) breeding blankets, the part of a fusion reactor where tritium, one of the fusion fuels, is to be produced. There are several types of LM ...

One of the key components regarding heat transfer and tritium inventories in deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion reactors is the (tritium) Breeding Blanket, called Test Blanket Module or TBM in ITER experiment. Several ...

S'exposa el projecte Gènere i Docència desenvolupat a la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). El projecte, que tenia com a objectiu capacitar el professorat en la incorporació de la perspectiva de gènere en la ...

The need to incorporate the gender dimension in higher education is a central element of gender equality policies within the European Union (EU). When most institutions of higher education have already strengthened and ...

In LIBRETTO-2 test, evidence was obtained that helium bubbles nucleated and grew in the neutron irradiated PbLi probes. If such phenomenon occurs inside liquid metal (LM) breeding blanket channels, the study of its effect ...
