Thermo-Mechanical Analysis for the Conceptual Design of Korean HCCR TBM-Set

With a conceptual design of Korean helium cooled ceramic reflector test blanket module (TBM), including TBM-shield for testing in ITER, thermo-mechanical analyses are performed with the temperature data through thermal-hydraulic analyses and the inner pressure for the electromagnetic (EM)-TBM and INTegral (INT)-TBM, including a TBM-shield, which are the same models according to the ITER operation conditions. The Tresca stress, strain, and deformation are investigated, and the results confirm that they satisfy the RCC-MRx design requirements. In addition, the deformation results give a small value, which is not in contact with the TBM frame.
