LLNL chambers work spans three areas
• Chamber and systems design
• Safety & environmental analyses
• Molecular dynamics simulations

Chamber scaling work will eventually be part of a Laser IFE systems code
• Eventual goal is an integrated systems model of an IFE power plant to help select attractive point design(s)
• Focus this year is on scaling relationships for a dry-wall chamber
• Approach is to use simple scaling tied to results from more detailed calculations

Many constraints need to be consideredin the chamber/blanket design
Tungsten armor on ferritic steel wall/blanket• Peak W temp < Tmelt
• Peak Fe temp < Max allowable operating temp
• Pulse to pulse T at W/Fe interface < ? interface integrity constraint?
• Thermal stresses due to avg T across steel wall
• Cylic stresses due to neutron induced pressure pulse in first wall coolant
• Surface roughing due to ion implantation
• Neutron damage
• Others?

1D temperature for surface heat flux qo applied starting at t = 0. k = thermal conductivity, thermaldiffusivity, To = initial temperature
At the surface
Heat flux: fxd = x-ray and debris fraction, Y = target yield, Rw = wall radius, p = pulse length
Since p ~ 1/Rw, Tmax ~ To + Y/Rw2.5 Assuming T max occurs at t ~ p
Surface temp at t = p

Molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage in tungsten chamber materials
During the first year, we will use MDS to evaluate defect production as a function of recoil energy (several to tens of eV)
MDS involves the numerical time-integration of Newton’s equation of motion for an ensemble of N-interacting particles (atoms),
Fi = mi ai = -V(r1,r2,…,rN )
Given an interatomic potential. We have available, the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potentials of Finnis-Sinclair and Ackland,
V(r1,r2,…,rN ) = VR + VE
Where VR is a repulsive pairwise contribution, and VE is the embedding energy of
an atom in an electron gas, with the form,
VE (i) = (∑ij (rij))1/2
Where (rij) are the individual neighbor contributions to the embedding electron
density

Analyses: Voronoi cell analysisto calculate defects
The Voronoi cell associated with a single atom is the constructed polyhedral volume for which all points contained within the volume are nearest to the associated atom.

Zero-occupancy denote a vacancyDouble-occupancy denotes an interstitial

Activation cross sections may need to be improved for IFE safety assessments
• Previous work has identified isotopes and reactions that are critical for safety & environmental issues
• Preliminary results show that uncertainties in activation cross sections could be significant
• Two methods have been implemented in the ACAB code: – a comprehensive sensitivity-uncertainty analysis method– a Monte Carlo procedure based on simultaneous random sampling
of all the cross sections involved in the problem
• We will determine if any of the uncertainties are large enough to have an impact upon any of our key results and/or conclusions

Activation calculations have been completedfor three FW/blanket concepts
1. Original SOMBRERO concept with 1 cm C/C first wall and C/C blanket
2. W-3Re armor (1 mm) with SiC first wall and blanket
3. W-3Re armor (1 mm) with ferritic steel first wall and blanket
![Page 13: LLNL Chambers Activities Presented by: Jeff Latkowski Chambers Team: Ryan Abbott, Alison Kubota, Wayne Meier, Susana Reyes April 10, 2003 Work performed.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f115503460f94c23f51/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Waste disposal ratings have been calculatedfor each armor/wall/blanket option
• Results assume 1 yr irradiation time• W-3Re components would not meet Class C disposal
requirements unless exposed for <2 years (dominated by Re, which is added for ductility)
• Ferritic steel WDR dominated by Nb, Mo impurities (0.5, 70 wppm, respectively)

Questions for Alison:
• 1st slide/1st bullet: really several to tens of eV (vs. keV)?
• How/where do we work in experimental validation?
• Have copy of walkthrough description? (Download this)
• Worth going through method of parallelization?
