What is Neutronic performance of HYLIFE-II fusion reactor using various thorium molten salts about?
HYLIFE-II is one of the major inertial fusion energy reactor design concepts in which a thick molten salt layer (Flibe = Li 2 BeF 4 ) is injected between the reaction chamber walls and the explosions. Molten salt coolant eliminates the frequent replacement of solid first wall structure during reactors lifetime by decreasing intense neutron flux. This study presents the neutronic analysis of HYLIFE-II fusion reactor using various liquid wall coolants, namely, 75% LiF-25% ThF 4 , 75% LiF-24% ThF 4 -1% 233 UF 4 or 75% LiF-23% ThF 4 -2% 233 UF 4 . Neutron transport calculations for the evaluation of neutron spectra were conducted with the help of Scale 4.3 by solving the Boltzmann transport equation in S 8 -P 3 approximation. The effects of flowing liquid wall thickness and type of coolant on the neutronic performance of the reactor were investigated. Furthermore, radiation damage calculations at the first wall structure with respect to type and thickness of liquid wall were carried out. Numerical results showed that using the flowing liquid wall containing the molten salt, 75% LiF-23% ThF 4 -2% UF 4 with a thickness of $70 cm maintained tritium self-sufficiency of the (DT) fusion driv
