Description
This paper presents the results of the blanket design of an EPRI-sponsored study for the TRACT reactor to investigate the technical feasibility of building a small fusion commerical power reactor based on the Triggered-Reconnection Compact Toroid (TRACT) confinement concept. Special attention has been given to design areas that are uniquely important to the TRACT reactor as a result of the high maximum neutron wall loading of 37.0 MW/m/sup 2/, the presence of the copper compression coil around the blanket and the requirement for an insulated first wall. The selected blanket, SiC first wall, a water-cooled Li/sub 17/Pb/sub 83b/lanket structure design that supports the cyclic magnet forces, and a PWR type power conversion system. Critical technology issues that are essential for the success of this blanket design are also identified
