AbstractAbstract
[en] This report summarizes the results of studies performed during 1982 to design an optimized blanket for the initial series of experiments to be conducted in the LOTUS test facility at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). The experiments are expected to begin in early 1984. An Overview of different hybrid blanket design concepts proposed to date is first given. The technological and economic implications of the different blanket design philosophies are discussed to provide the basis and rationale for the thorium fast-fission blanket design concept selected for the first series of experiments. Detailed description, dimensions, and characteristics of the selected blanket design are given. The neutronic optimization studies on which the design is based are described in detail. Instrumentation and measurement techniques to be used in LOTUS are described elsewhere
