Mechanical design for neutral beam injection

At the Lawrence Livermore and Berkeley Laboratories two major neutral beam system designs were developed, the High Voltage Test Stand (HVTS) and a conceptual system for the Two Component Tokamak-Toroidal Fusion Test Reactor (TCT-TFTR). The HVTS was designed for flexibility in performing a wide variety of tests, while the TCT-TFTR beam line was designed to satisfy particular requirements for target-plasma operation. Both designs make use of condensation cryopumping to handle very high gas loads. The HVTS design involves high-voltage isolation techniques of cryogenic and other systems. The TCT-TFTR design requires optimization of pumping and other systems. It is to be expected that experience gained from design and operation of the HVTS systems will be of value to the final design of TCT-TFTR and to the engineering of future fusion reactors
