Effect of the various tritium breeding materials on the tritium breeding ratio in ARC fusion reactor
Öz: This study deals with TBR (Tritium Breeding Ratio) performance of the four different types of molten salt (FLiBe, FLiNaK, FLiNaBe, FLiNaRb) which has four different Li-6 enrichment ratios (0%, 30%, 60%, 90%) Moreover, two different vacuum vessel materials (SiC composite and V4Cr4Ti alloy) have been used in ARC reactor geometry. In models with TBR ≥1.05, it has been desired to examine the sustainability of the tritium production of the reactor by removing the neutron multiplication layer from the design without using the toxic Beryllium element. The neutronic performance studies have been examined in OpenMC, which is an open-source Monte Carlo neutron and photon transport code. The TBR values of the different models obtained and the change of these values according to Li-6 enrichment were examined. Obtaining result showed that the FLiBe molten salt and V4Cr4Ti alloy vacuum vessel wall material could be the best choice for the ARC reactor.
