An ICF reactor cavity to maximize tritium breeding
Description
Conceptual design for an ICF tritium production reactor has been completed. The cavity design is unique in that beryllium is used both as a neutron multiplier and a structural material. Neutronics calculations show the breeding ratio is over 2.0. The special problems posed by using beryllium as a structural material in a radiation environment are explored, and stresses and strains are quanitified
