Abstract

The paper presents a schematic design of a Tritium Fuel Cycle for Muon-Catalyzed Intense Neutron Source (MC INS) capable of producing 14 MeV neutrons. Based on the assumption that the fuel mixture should be used in a liquid phase different approaches are proposed to incorporate a DT cell (synthesizer) into the MC INS facility. Estimations of the total tritium inventory in the MC INS facility are given. The calculations of the DT cell operation temperature regime using the code FLOW-3D(R) are presented. The capability to remove the thermal energy released in the DT cell of the proposed design is shown. The MC INS design is analyzed from the viewpoint of tritium safety requirements.
