Lead lithium cooled ceramic breeder (LLCB) TBM is the Indian DEMO relevant blanket module, which will be tested in one-half of a designated ITER port from day 1 operation of ITER. LLCB TBM will be tested in various ITER operational phases. Different TBM may be tested corresponding to the four different phases of plasma operation. The paper present a review of thermal analyses based on the various heat loads on the LLCB TBM obtained from neutronics calculations to confirm heat removal and structural integrity under different ITER operational conditions. This includes the normal plasma operation, fusion power excursions, surface heat flux due to MARFES, disruption heat loads during thermal and current quench etc., in inductive and non-inductive plasma operations. Transient events, like plasma disruption, vertical displacement events (VDEs) and edge localized modes (ELMs) deliver considerable heat flux (high power densities) for short durations onto the first wall of TBM. Detailed thermal-hydraulic simulation studies have been performed using ANSYS. These analyses, therefore, will provide important information about the temperature distribution in different materials used in TBM and their temperature-time histories. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
