Abstract
This paper presents results from a recent effort initiated under the JUPITER-II collaborative program for high
temperature gas-cooled blanket systems using SiCf /SiC as a structural material. Current emphasis is to address issues
associated with the function of the helium gas considered in the DREAM and ARIES-I concepts by performing
thermomechanical and thermofluid analysis. The objective of the analysis is to guide future research focus for a task in
the project. It is found that the DREAM concept has the advantage of achieving uniform temperature without
