Pressure Stress Analysis of Outer Shell of Blanket Module (Max. = 85 MPa)
Thermal Stress Distribution in Toroidal Half of Outboard Blanket Module(Max. = 113 MPa)
Detailed Stress Analysis of Blanket Module to Maintain Conservative Margins as Reliability Measure:
Stress Analysis of Outboard Module
• 6 modules per outboard segment • Side walls of all inner modules are pressure balanced except for outermodules which must be reinforced to
accommodate the Pb-17Li pressure (1 MPa)• For a 2-cm thick outer module side wall, the maximum pressure stress = 85 MPa• The side wall can be tapered radially to reduce the SiC volume fraction and benefit tritium breeding while
maintaining a uniform stress • The thermal stress at this location is small and the sum of the pressure and thermal stresses is << 190 MPa limit
• The maximum pressure stress + thermal stress at the first wall ~60+113 MPa.

16
Pressure Stress Analysis of Inner Shell Shows Comfortable Stress Limit Margin
• The inner wall is designed to withstand the difference between blanket inlet and outlet pressures (~0.25 MPa).
• The thickness of the upper and lower wall is 5 mm.
• The maximum stress is 116 MPa for a side-wall thickness of 8 mm (<<190 MPa limit)
• In addition, the maximum pressure differential of ~0.25 MPa occurs at the lower poloidal location. The inner wall thickness could be tapered down to ~5 mm at the upper poloidal location if needed to minimize the SiC volume fraction.

• Reduction in Tinterface at the expense of additional heat transfer from outlet Pb-17Li to inlet Pb-17Li and increase in Pb-17Li Tinlet • Very difficult to achieve maximum Pb-17Li/SiC Tinterface < Pb-17Li Toutlet
• However, manifold flow in region with very low or no radiation• Set manifold annular dimensions to minimize Tbulk while maintaining a reasonable P
