Book Synopsis A Fusion Chamber Design with a Liquid First Wall and Divertor by : B. Nelson
Download or read book A Fusion Chamber Design with a Liquid First Wall and Divertor written by B. Nelson. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The APEX study is investigating the use of free flowing liquid surfaces to form the inner surface of the chamber around a fusion plasma. We present a design for the chamber of a 3840MW fusion reactor based on the configuration for the chamber and magnets from ARIESRS but with a fast flowing molten salt of mixed Be, Li and Na fluorides for the first wall and divertor and molten salt blanket with a ferritic steel structure. Our design analysis includes strong radiation from the core and edge plasma, (liquid) MHD effects on the weakly conducting molten salt, a recycling first wall stream that enables a high efficiency thermal conversion, and evaluations of breeding, neutronics, tritium recovery and safety.
