US Selected TBM Concepts
1. The Dual-Coolant Pb-17Li Liquid Breeder
Blanket concept with self-cooled Pb-Li
breeding zone and flow channel inserts
(FCIs) as MHD and thermal insulator



Innovative concept that provides “pathway” to
higher outlet temperature/higher thermal efficiency
while using ferritic steel.
US lead role in collaboration with other parties (most
parties are interested in Pb-Li as a liquid breeder,
especially EU and China).
Plan an independent TBM that will occupy half an
ITER test port with corresponding ancillary
equipment.
Cutaway of US DCLL TBM Module
2. The Helium-Cooled Solid Breeder Blanket concept
with ferritic steel structure and beryllium neutron
multiplier, but without an independent TBM


Support EU and Japan efforts using their TBM
structure & ancillary equipment
Contribute submodule test articles that focus on
particular technical issues
HCCB Submodule Conceptual 2
Design as of Jan. 2006
Assumptions and Constraints Affecting Strategy,
Technical Planning, and Cost Estimations
The scope of this current planning effort and cost estimation is based on the
following assumptions and constraints:
• The DCLL reference scenario assumes the testing of a series of TBMs each
of which will occupy an ITER vertical half-port, have dedicated ancillary
equipment, and have a PbLi exit temperature limit of 470ºC
• The HCCB reference scenario assumes a series of sub-modules each of
which will occupy 1/3 an ITER horizontal half-port and utilize shared
ancillary equipment in-cooperation with the EU or Japan.
• US TBM structures will be fabricated from reduced activation ferritic steel
with an assumed temperature limit of 550ºC.
• Detailed planning and cost is for a 10 year period between now and the
shipment of the TBM deliverables in 2015 for DAY ONE ITER H-H
operation.
• The cost is the total cost for the TBM project including R&D, design,
engineering, fabrication, qualification, etc., as well as the cost to interface
with ITER and other parties during this period.
• The R&D cost includes all costs related to the Reference Scenarios that
occur within the next 10 year period whether they are related to the first
(Day ONE) Test Articles or subsequent test articles.
• Cost of the deliverables includes the cost of the First Test Article and
associated equipment (See Project Deliverables).

Principal Mission of the TBM Program
The principal mission of the US ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM)
Program is to develop, deploy and operate ITER TBM experiments
that provide unique experimental data on, and operational experience
with, the integrated function of US blanket and first wall components
and materials in a true fusion plasma-magneto-nuclear environment.
This data is essential for the:
1. validation of the scientific understanding and predictive capabilities
needed to interpret and extrapolate results to subsequent burning plasma
experiments, component test facilities, and ultimately energy producing
systems;
2. demonstration of the principles of tritium self-sufficiency in practical
systems needed to establish the feasibility of the DT fuel cycle;
3. development of the technology necessary to install breeding capabilities to
supply ITER with the tritium necessary for operation in its extended phase
of operation and help resolve the critical “tritium supply” issue for fusion
development (US involvement in the development of this technology with
ITER partners will be essential to understand and influence these partner
programs).
4. first integrated experimental results on the reliability, safety, environmental
impact, and efficiency of fusion energy extraction systems.

Cost Range Scenarios
High Cost Range Scenario
•
The high cost range scenario is for an Independent US DCLL TBM and an
Independent HCCB TBM; with accounting for known international
collaborations. The high cost scenario is similar in scope to the current EU
and Japan TBM programs and gives an indication of total project cost to
pursue two blanket options with minimum risk in the sense that the US is
responsible for all hardware for half-port sized TBMs for both of its
selected blanket options.
Baseline Cost Range Scenario
•
The baseline scenario is defined as an Independent US DCLL TBM
accounting for known international collaboration, and a supporting
international partnership on the HCCB TBM. This baseline cost scenario
most closely matches the DOE guidance presented in Chapter 3.3.
Lower Cost Range Scenario
•
The lower cost range scenario is defined as a Leading international
partnership on DCLL TBM and a supporting international partnership on
the HCCB TBM. The low cost range scenario represents the minimum
level of investment where the US will still acquire the knowledge, and
develop the capabilities and skills, in the many areas necessary for fusion
blanket development and fabrication in the US of components for a future
CTF and fusion DEMO. There is however more risk associated with this
scenario due to the level of international collaboration.
