Abstract

Using the Monte Carlo particle transport code MCNP and the European inventory code FISPACT-2007, activation calculation analysis for China helium cooled ceramic breeder test blanket module (CN HCCB TBM) and its ancillary systems (together called HCCB TBS) has been carried out based on the latest design of HCCB TBM and neutronic C-lite model provided by ITER. The radioactivity, afterheat and contact dose rate of the various structure components have been obtained and discussed. The results show that the total radioactivity and afterheat of HCCB TBM are 2.348×1016 Bq and 5.826 kW at shut down respectively. Activation calculation results can be used as the basic input data for other analyses of HCCB TBS, including safety analysis, maintenance, radwaste management, etc.
