Nuclear fusion reacts with deuterium and tritium as a fuel, and the generated neutrons react with the lithium element to produce tritium and thermal energy. Here, the bred tritium is recovered and reused as fuel, and at the same time, the multiplied heat is recovered by the coolant and used for electricity production. As one of key technologies for the fusion reactor development, development of test blanket module (TBM) for the verification of the thermal energy production for electric production and for the verification of the tritium breeding capability using fusion energy is underway. Through the TBM development, development and verification of system design code and safety analysis, fabrication and characterization of evaluation structural material (ARAA)/functional material, mockup fabrication and performance verification, cooling system verification test, tritium purge gas characteristic evaluation etc. are on-going. In this study the status of the TBM development is presented. |
