Feasibility studies on the vacuum outer containment of a fusion power plant

Creators

Description

The feasibility of the vacuum outer containment is investigated with regard to structural stability and vacuum requirements. The vacuum pumping systems for the inner and outer containment have been determined for the initial condition and for the reactor operation. The main characteristics of the concrete building are presented. The static and dynamic calculations show the feasibility of a 2 m thick reinforced concrete building. The tritium inventory in the main plant components has been evaluated for a reference case and some technical alternatives. A safety analysis of a loss of coolant accident in the blanket is presented with an event tree
