摘要
In this study, the neutronic calculation to obtain tritium breeding ratio (TBR) in a deuterium-tritium fusion power reactor using Monte Carlo MCNPX is done. To this end Li4SiO4 was considered as the blanket module. In order to improve the distribution of power density in the blanket module, an arrangement of the neutron multiplier Be in the breeding zone has been optimized. Total TBR of 1.14 is achieved. Finally helium cooled pebble bed was designed as cooling system using COMSOL Multiphysics simulator.
