MIT solid blanket design studies

A DT cycle tokamak reactor is assumed having a major radius of 10.5 meters and a minor radius of 3.5 meters yielding an inside torus surface area of 1450 m2. Two design thermal power outputs are examined. 2059 MW(t) for an energy multiplication of 1.42 and 1450 MW(t) for an energy multiplication of 1.0. Geometric and neutronic design analyses are presented for a blanket with LiAlO2 pellets. The blanket response under normal operating conditions is discussed
