Abstract

The Lead-Lithium Ceramic Breeder (LLCB) Test Blanket Module (TBM) being developed by India for testing in ITER adopts various well developed design engineering and manufacturing technologies. The First Wall (FW), which is directly exposed to the incident heat flux, is designed for high pressure helium flow, high operating temperature (up to 100 bar and 550 °C) and considerable thermal stress and electromagnetic disruption loads. In order to check the thermal performance of the FW and ensure its structural integrity, a mock-up of the FW fabricated in India was tested in HELOKA test facility at KIT, Germany. Both normal and accidental operating conditions were investigated under ITER-like surface heat fluxes. Based on these results the thermal performance of the FW were validated.
