BWTR (Boiling Water Tokamak Reactor) blanket study

The NUWMAK design is a second generation reactor design study. It utilizes the experiences we obtained from UWMAK series designs, combined with recent development in plasma physics and aimed toward a more optimized reactor design. The blanket for NUWMAK is designed to minimize thermal cycling, provide internal thermal energy storage, eliminate the need for an intermediate loop, minimize tritium inventory, facilitate tritium recovery, reduce the possibility of violent chemical reaction, and minimize long term radioactivity. These requirements are satisfied in the NUWMAK blanket design
