The helium-cooled lithium lead blanket test proposal in ITER and requirements on test blanket modules instrumentation

In this paper, a preliminary testing program is proposed to test and validate the helium-cooled lithium lead breeder blanket concept in the ITER machine. oposal envisages four different test mock-ups or modules, adapted for qualifying single or combined effects and whose design makes large use of engineering scaling for compensating the differences between the testing conditions and those expected in DEMO (e.g., neutron wall load, heat flux, pulsed operating conditions).
