Various oxides and SiC have been proposed as candidate materials for electrical insulation coatings and inserts to suppress the MHD pressure drop in liquid metal fusion blanket systems. The radiation-induced conductivities (RICs), increases in conductivities by radiation excitation, have been evaluated on bulk and coated specimens. The results indicate that the RIC phenomenon would not prevent the MHD insulators from achieving the required performances.
Various oxides and SiC have been proposed as candidate materials for electrical insulation coatings and inserts to suppress the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pressure drop in liquid metal fusion blanket systems. From the early stage of the MHD insulator development, the magnitudes of the radiation-induced conductivities (RICs), i.e., increases in conductivities by radiation excitation, have been evaluated on bulk and coated specimens by using several radiation sources. While the insulating performances of the oxide coated and SiC plate specimens are inferior to those of high quality and purity bulk materials due to cracks, pits, sintering additives, etc., the results indicate that the RIC phenomenon would not prevent the MHD insulators from achieving the required performances (10(-3)-10(-2) S/m for coatings, 102 S/m for inserts) at the first wall of the blanket (50 0-700 degrees C, several kGy/s). The recent design investigation of blanket modules for DEMO reactor conditions provides more precise information for prediction of the performances in reactors and conditions to be simulated in the future irradiation damage studies. In the case of the coatings, the suppression of recoiled Li from the liquid metal breeder/coolant might be an issue to be considered in the development. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
