Neutronics Analysis for the Light Ion Beam Reactor LIBRA-LiTE

AbstractNeuronics analysis has been performed for LIBRA-LiTE. Using liquid lithium as a coolant and breeder results in more attractive neutronics performance features compared to Li17Pb83. The final focusing magnets and the front rows of the INPORT tubes have to be replaced every 1 and 3 years, respectively. The steel chamber wall, roof, and bottom plates are lifetime components. The overall reactor tritium breeding ratio and energy multiplication values are 1.405 and 1.123, respectively.
