Maintenance concept for the TFTR
Description
This paper provides an overview of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) plans for operation in the deuterium-tritium phase. The emphasis is on the engineering aspects of the plan and the integration of maintenance activities into the overall experimental program. The specific approaches taken by TFTR in shielding and manipulators are outlined. An attempt is made to point out the complexities inherent in the present generation of tokamak research when nuclear aspects become an additional feature. (author). 4 refs, 8 figs, 3 tabs
