A neutronics-based investigation was carried out for self-cooled Blanket Test Modules in ITER with coolant of liquid lithium and structural materials of V-4Cr-4Ti. The design feasibility was demonstrated for the test module having the purpose to validate the tritium self sufficiency for DEMO Li/V blanket without neutron multiplier Be.
