TECNO_FUS is a Programme financed by the Spanish Government (by means of a Consolider grant by MICINN, Ref. CSD2008-079) and oriented towards the development of technologies associated with the Breeding blanket of future fusion power plants.
The purpose of the breeding blanket is twofold: to extract the energy generated in the power reactor, and to convert Lithium into Tritium.
Associated techniques involve neutron detection, the development of materials (Eurofer steel, ceramics, SiC or composite SiCf/SiC), the management of liquid metals in strong magnetic fields, and thermomechanical calculations in complex geometries. The first design of a dual coolant, dual functionality model is not original of TECNO_FUS, what is original is the development of the so called DRM design (Spanish for "Doble Refrigerante Modular") He/LiPb.
Institutional participation
Institutions involved are specialized Centres and Universities all over Spain, e.g.
- Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Técnicas de Gipuzkoa (CEIT) of the Universidad de Navarra (UNAV)
- Universidad Pontificia de Comillas (ETSII-COMILLAS)
- EHU-Universidad del País Vasco
- Instituto Químico de Sarriá (Universidad Ramón Llull)
- ITMA (at Llanera-Avilés)
- Universidad Complutense de Madrid
- UNED
- Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña
- Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
The work is coordinated by CIEMAT, acting as Management Entity, such that the Head of the LNF is also the Research Coordinator. The project includes a Technical Secretary.
Tasks
Leadership researchers are responsible for the following 9 tasks:
- Computational neutronics of DRM He/LiPb box (Task 1)
- Integral structural design TM/EM of DERM He/LiPB box (Task 2)
- Integral CDF computational capabilities for Liquid Metal and gas channels of the DRM He LiPb box and auxiliary systems (Task 3)
- Production of DRM funtional and structural materials (Task 4)
- Design of technologies and plant systems (Task 5)
- Breeding blanket diagnostic and CODAC architectures (Task 6)
- Safety analysis and environmental impact of DRM He/LiPb system (Task 7)
- DEMO plasmae & reactor specifications (Task 8)
- Blanket & Systems integration and engineering survey (Task 9)
