Abstract

Under the ongoing experimental program of fusion neutronics at the LOTUS facility, a number of activation and tritium breeding measurements were recently completed. The presence of Lithium Blanket Module (LBM) made a number of measurements also possible in it alone and in a number of more complex assemblies, incorporating it as one of the components. Both axial and off-axis measurements were made. All the experiments have been analyzed using the two dimensional discrete ordinates code DOT3.5 coupled to the first collision source evaluator GRTUNCL. The agreement between the measured and computed reaction rates is better than 10% for ThO/sub 2/; it is not so good for others.
