LIBRTI Conference

Talk

The LIBRTI program seeks to de-risk fuel-cycle technology through physical demonstrations of specific breeder concepts, and accompany this with a digital representation of the facility to enhance the understanding of any measurements obtained. Such endeavours provide a route to in-silico design and qualification of breeder blanket technologies, thereby accelerating the critical pathway to...

LIBRTI Conference

Talk

Predicting tritium generation, retention, and release in a breeder blanket is essential for the design of fusion experiments, reactor prototypes, and ultimately commercial systems. Sensible and reliable design choices requires close alignment between simulations and experiments overseeing a variety of processes and physical scales. Assessing the predictive accuracy of tritium transport...

9. Uncertainty Quantification of breeder blankets using MOOSE

LIBRTI Conference

Talk

In the design, construction and operation of breeder blankets, there is large uncertainty in a range of properties including the geometry, material properties, physical parameters, isotope composition and nuclear cross-sections. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods aim to quantify how variability in each of the properties drives variability in the performance of the system. This allows...
