Review of melting and evaporation of fusion reactor first walls

Journal Article · · Am. Soc. Mech. Eng., (Pap.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5063369
The most severe thermal loading on the first wall will occur when the plasma becomes unstable resulting in a hard plasma disruption or at the end of a discharge when the plasma is dumped on the wall in a very short period of time. Hard plasma disruptions are of particular concern in future fusion reactors where the thermal energy of the plasma may reach values on the order of 300 MJ. 16 refs.
