ORNL to partner with Type One, UTK on fusion facility
Yesterday, Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced that it is in the process of partnering with Type One Energy and the University of Tennessee–Knoxville. That partnership will have one primary goal: to establish a high-heat flux facility (HHF) at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Bull Run Energy Complex in Clinton, Tenn.

For the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the European Union intends to introduce a test blanket module using liquid lithium lead. In the present study, a preliminary experiment was conducted using a LiAl/Pb assembly, which has a neutronics performance similar to lithium lead. The neutron spectrum at the inside of the assembly was measured with an NE-213 detector. We found that the spectra calculated with MCNP5 and JENDL-3.3 underestimate the 14-MeV peak by no less than 30%, while ENDF/B-VII.0 and JEFF-3.1 gave good agreement. The neutron nuclear data of lead stored in JENDL-3.3 may have some problems.
