The impact of thermal fatigue and other design limits on pulsed commercial tokamak reactor design

Methods of analysis for fusion first-wall design are developed. Several design limits have been evaluated and combined to present tradeoffs in the form of design windows. These considerations include limits related to thermal fatigue, primary membrane strength, displacement under loading, ratcheting...

Description
Summary:Methods of analysis for fusion first-wall design are developed. Several design limits have been evaluated and combined to present tradeoffs in the form of design windows. These considerations include limits related to thermal fatigue, primary membrane strength, displacement under loading, ratcheting, radiation damage, and plasma-wall interaction. Proposal of the ULTRA long pulse commercial reactor is discussed.
