From surface effects in controlled thermonuclear fusion devices and reactors meeting; Argonne, Illinois, USA (10 Jan 1974). The fundamental operating principles and parameters inherent to the Reference Theta-Pinch Reactor (RTPR) are described herein. An emphasis is placed on those engineering aspects of the RTPR design which bear directly on the thermal, hydraulic, and radiation response of the first wall. The major portion of the data presented is calculational, and further experimental and theoretical results are needed to assess accurately anticipated material problems and to forecast appropriate solutions. Material problems envisioned for the RTPR first wall are discussed brie fly in the context of the particular RTPR design described. (auth)
