Summary

3/23Carlos Moreno– “Modelling tools for tritium transport”2nd EU-US DCLL Workshop. 14-15 Nov 2014. Los Angeles (CA), USA.

Overview

TMAP7 (Tritium Migration Analysis Program) was the reference code in the fusion community.

CIEMAT started to use TMAP 10 years ago.

Fortran CODE.

Limited in number of enclosure and materials.

No user friendly pre and post-processing, and modifications.

Future Work

Models for 4 EU-DEMO Breeding Blankets systems.

Connect with other modelling tools.

Upgrade material data base (PbLi-solubility, surface constant, chemical rate, thermomigration,...)

Upgrade detail of components (3D in some components).

Include more physical phenomena (corrosion, He bubbles, traps in material,…)
