報告簡介：
In the Concept Design Phase (2021-2027) of the European DEMO program, key issues should be addressed to reach a consolidated Concept Design of EU-DEMO. To tackle the low reliability issue of the breeding blanket, the HCPB Team proposed a new HCPB concept in 2021. This concept proposes to equalize the pressure of the purge gas with that of the coolant to eliminate welds that are designed for preventing in-box loss of coolant. However, the blanket box will have to bear the 8 MPa pressure even under normal conditions. Consequently, the thickness of the critical structures (especially the First Wall) of the HCPB will have to be increased, which will impact the tritium breeding ratio. To have a viable design, the basic nuclear, thermal hydraulic, and structural requirements must be met. Additionally, accompanying Research and Development (R&D) activities should be conducted to maturate the HCPB BB concept.
