Title:
FUSION REACTOR BLANKET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/021997
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To achieve high tritium breeding performance while maintaining structural integrity of the entire plant by ensuring that a reactor is designed to be simple and lightweight. [Solution] Each of a plurality of blanket modules 4a includes: a first wall 41 disposed facing a fusion plasma; a hollow interior housing 40 disposed behind the first wall 41 and formed of a structural material including SiC or an SiC composite material; a plurality of inner tanks 421, 422 arranged inside the housing 40 side-by-side in a direction away from the fusion plasma; a front side flow channel 45 formed between the structural material on the first wall 41 side and a foremost one of the inner tanks; inlet holes 45a that allow the front side flow channel 45 and the foremost internal tank 421 to be in communication with each other; communication holes 43a that allow the adjacent inner tanks 421, 422 to be in communication with each other; a supply channel 46 for supplying a coolant from the outside of the housing 40 to the front side flow channel 45; and a discharge pipe 47 for discharging the coolant from the rearmost internal tank 422 to the outside of the housing 40.
