Description des prestations
As part of a UK national programme (the STEP Programme), UKAEA are requesting a design for a Lead-Lithium flow loop with several key requirements. In this project, the successful applicant will work with UKAEA to carry out the preliminary design for a Lead-Lithium Flow Loop.
Liquid Lead-Lithium has been considered as a blanket coolant by multiple fusion organisations due to its high boiling point temperature, tritium breeding capabilities and thermal properties. To develop further understanding in the United Kingdom, UKAEA intends to award a Front-End Engineering Design contract for a Lead-Lithium flow loop which can investigate fluid properties and flow behaviour in representative blanket conditions.
The main aims of the flow loop are to study the effects of a uniform magnetic field on flowing Lead-Lithium and measure corrosion within a defined test section. The test section will allow different materials and geometries of piping to be installed and tested.
