Accident Simulation
An accident scenario is simulated for a leakage of Helium into DCLL-TBM
Structural analysis was performed with the following conditions:
Leakage of 8 MPa Helium into DCLL-TBM, thus increasing the pressure in the breeder channels to 8 MPa
Extreme temperature conditions (T = 650oC) is applied as a uniform temperature on the entire DCLL-TBM

Back-of-the-Envelope FEM Summary
FE Models must include Detailed Design of the FW and Supporting Ribs to identify critical design features.
“Back of the Envelope” FEM shows the weakest “link” to be the edges between the FW and the internal support structure.
Internal support structure – FW bonds will take the DCLL module beyond allowable stresses of 300 MPa at elevated temperatures.

Summary
The entire DCLL TBM including FW channel detail was modelled for an over pressurization analysis (8 MPa).
Stress distribution on support structure/FW contact areas shows “shadowing” of FW channel detail on stress states.
Without reinforced support structure FW and Top/Bottom Plate contact areas, stresses are high.
Modifying internal Rib-FW/Top/Bottom-Plate contact areas can reduce maximum stresses significantly.
Details of the most optimized reinforcement design are yet to be determined.
