Neutronics assessments of LHCD antenna system for CFETR
Listed in ScienceDB
To maintain a long-duration plasma current and obtain steady-state operation for CFETR, a non-inductive Heating and Current Drive (H&CD) system is currently under study.
Description
Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) is an important auxiliary heating system, that has good current drive efficiency and improves plasma confinement by changing the current distribution.Neutronics calculation was conducted to study the nuclear performance and shielding effectiveness.
This study was performed on a CFETR 22.5◦ model integrated with an upper-port LHCD antenna structure. The detailed 3D neutronics model was built using the computer-aided modeling platform cosVMPT, and particle transport was performed using MCNP5 with the nuclear data library FENDL-2.1. With the support of high performance variance reduction technique, “on-the-fly” GVR method, global neutron and photon flux distributions with reasonable relative error were obtained.

The irradiation damage to components in the antenna system was assessed, including DPA, gas production and nuclear heat density. The total nuclear heat for the transmission structure was 1.192 MW, and the peak irradiation damage was located at the front end of the Passive-Active Multi-junction (PAM) launcher. Owing to the blanket opening for wave propagation, the induced nuclear responses for VV and TFC were analyzed, and the shielding design was initialized.
The results showed that all the parameters were within the design limit after the shielding design. Because part of the blanket module was occupied by the antenna launcher, the TBR of CFETR was evaluated, and it decreased by only 0.22% for the whole fusion reactor.
