Utilization of Magnesium Chloride (Mg-Cl) cycle for Hydrogen Production of SOMBRERO Fusion Reactor
The aim of this study is to investigate the hydrogen production potential of the Mg-Cl (magnesium chloride) cycle in the SOMBRERO fusion reactor. Three different percentages of UO2 nuclear fuel, namely 2%, 6% and 10%, have been used while keeping the fuel zone thickness constant. The performance of...

| description | The aim of this study is to investigate the hydrogen production potential of the Mg-Cl (magnesium chloride) cycle in the SOMBRERO fusion reactor. Three different percentages of UO2 nuclear fuel, namely 2%, 6% and 10%, have been used while keeping the fuel zone thickness constant. The performance of the SOMBRERO fusion reactor has been considered statically. The neutronic calculations have performed with Monte Carlo neutron transport code. Firstly, it has been determined that the tritium breeding ratio (TBR) and energy multiplication factor (M) values depends on neutronically. Secondly, the amount of hydrogen production with by using energy multiplication factor (M) have been performed. The highest hydrogen production has been obtained as 8,12687 kg/s for 10% UO2 fuel ratio. |
