Abstract :
ENEA performed an out-of-pile test (thermal cycling) of a water cooled breeder-in-tube blanket mockup (1-PIN) using a Li2ZrO 3 pebble bed as breeder material. The scope of the experiment is to carry out an integral characterization test adopting a full geometrical representation and ITER-relevant boundary conditions
