  5. Power Plant Design Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University • -From the aspect of thermal plant design, • ONLY supercritical water turbine is the available option • From fire-powered plant technology. • -No steam plants available above 650 degree C. • Near Future Plants • -Reduced Activation Ferritic steels (RAFs) are expected as • blanket material candidates. • -Considering temperature range for RAFs, 500 C range • is maximum, and desirable for efficiency.

  9. Findings Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University -Supercritical water cycles is desirable and possible (technically difficult). - No gas turbine system is effective in temperature ~500 C. - With steam generator, gas cooled is less effective than water. - Plant design limited above 650 C. High temperature material does not guarantee economy. Improvements may be required in the DEMO generation. • Possible Advanced Plant Options • High temperature cycle can be planned with He gas turbine at ~900 C. • Only dual coolant LiPb blanket has possibility for high temperature in ITER/TBM. • At high temperature, use of heat for hydrogen production • may be an attractive choice.

  22. Emission from Fusion and Dose Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University Impact pathway of tritium suggests ingestion will be dominant.

  23. Findings Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University • Fusion plant detritiation will be dominated by power • plant configuration. • - Normal tritium release will be controlled actively. • - Off-normal spill can be recovered with normal detritiation. • - High temperature plant will require improved tritium system. • Measurable tritium will be released in airborne form. • Tritium accumulates in environment (far smaller natural BG). • Ingestion dose will be dominant. • For long run, C-14 may be a concern.

  24. Conclusion Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University Fusion development is in the phase to study market ・Fusion must find customers and meet their requests. ・Fusion must satisfy environmental and social issues. Development of advanced blanket is a key issue for fusion ・Economy - not just temperature, but to maximize market ・Environment - not just low activation, but best total cost and social value / least risk(Externality) Development strategy (road map) for blanket is needed. ・ITER and DEMO require 2 or more generations of blankets. ・staged improvement of blanket is planned with water-PB, and LiPb dual coolant concepts.

  25. Conclusion 2 Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University Possible blanket improvement ・Independent from large increment of plasma ・Continuous improvement can be reflected in blanket change. (Improvement in DEMO phase) ・Multiple paths to meet various needs are possible. ・Flexibility in development of entire fusion program is provided by blanket development. Fast Track
