Assessment of EM loads on the EU HCPB TBM during plasma disruption and normal operating scenario including the ferromagnetic effect

Static and transient analyses have been carried out to evaluate Electro Magnetic loads on the European Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB-TBM) during a type II linear disruption (Lorentz forces) and (because of the presence of ferromagnetic structural material) during normal ITER operating scenario (Maxwell forces (MFs)). At last the influence of the toroidal field ripple on the MFs has been investigated.
