IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO THERMONUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4099069
A thermonuclear reactor in which a high-temperature plasma is established in a torus with two insulating gaps and a liner system as described in Patent Specification No. 830,252 is modified so that the liner surface exposed to the plasma is coated with beryllia. This coating prevents arc spots (unipolar arcs) from forming on the liner and evaporating some of the liner metal with consequent plasma contamination. Beryllia is advantageous as a coating material because of its partial transparency to bremsstrahlung from the plasma. (D.L.C.)
