The Water Cooled Lithium Lead Test Blanket System (WCLL TBS) is one of the EU Test Blanket Systems candidate for being installed and operated in ITER. In view of its Conceptual Design Review by F4E and ITER Organization (IO), planned for mid-September 2020, several technical activities have been performed in the areas of WCLL TBS Ancillary Systems design. In this article the outcomes of the conceptual design phase of the four main Ancillary Systems of WCLL TBS, namely the Water Cooling System (WCS), the Coolant Purification System (CPS), the PbLi loop and the Tritium Extraction System (TES), are reported and critically discussed. In particular, for each Ancillary System hereafter are reported: i) a short design description, including the conceptual design of their main components together with their operative conditions under the so-called Normal Operational State (NOS), ii) the ESP-ESPN classification for their main components, and iii) their arrangement and integration in the assigned ITER areas (PC#16, Vertical Shaft, TCWS Vault, Galleries and Tritium Process Room).

Abstract

The Water Cooled Lithium Lead Test Blanket System (WCLL TBS) is one of the EU Test Blanket Systems candidate for being installed and operated in ITER. In view of its Conceptual Design Review by F4E and ITER Organization (IO), planned for mid-September 2020, several technical activities have been performed in the areas of WCLL TBS Ancillary Systems design. In this article the outcomes of the conceptual design phase of the four main Ancillary Systems of WCLL TBS, namely the Water Cooling System (WCS), the Coolant Purification System (CPS), the PbLi loop and the Tritium Extraction System (TES), are reported and critically discussed. In particular, for each Ancillary System hereafter are reported: i) a short design description, including the conceptual design of their main components together with their operative conditions under the so-called Normal Operational State (NOS), ii) the ESP-ESPN classification for their main components, and iii) their arrangement and integration in the assigned ITER areas (PC#16, Vertical Shaft, TCWS Vault, Galleries and Tritium Process Room).
