Abstract
TCODE can be used for either near-term experimental reactors or for commercial reactors. The code provides options for items that may be included in a commercial reactor such as a divertor, neutral beam heating, and a breeding blanket. The code was used to calculate tritium and vacuum system parameters for the near term reactors ITR, TNS-UP and EPR as well as for some commercial reactor designs, the UWMAK series. A selected sample of the tritium and vacuum parameters for these reactor designs is shown. Also shown are parameters for a hypothetical reactor UWMAK-III M having similar characteristics to UWMAK-III but with a higher fractional burnup (5.0% cf. 0.83%). The impact of the reactor design scenario upon major tritium and vacuum systems is discussed.
