Thermo-mechanical analysis for the conceptual design of Korean HCCR TBM-set

Korea has designed a Helium Cooled Ceramic Reflector Test Blanket Module (HCCR TBM) including TBM-shield, which is called TBM-set to be tested in ITER. In this study, the thermo-mechanical analyses are performed with the temperature data by the thermal-hydraulic analyses and inner pressure for Integral Module (INT-TBM) and EM Module (EM-TBM) including TBM-shield, respectively, which are the same model according to the ITER operation conditions. Tresca stress, strain, and deformation are investigated, and the results are confirmed that they give a satisfaction of RCC-MRx design requirement. In addition the deformation result gives a small value, which is not contacted to the TBM frame.
