OSTI ID:5232988
A 3.8 m (major radius) Ignition Test Reactor, one of several designs being considered in The Next Step program studies, was selected as a reference design for this paper. A range of reactor maintenance concepts have been investigated and three representative approaches chosen for further discussion: (1) all-remote, (2) maximum contact, and (3) expanded shield. These concepts are examined in some detail and summarized for comparison. Reactor availability, an approach for its assessment, and its effect on the choice of maintenance concept is discussed and a suggested target availability of 70 to 75% is proposed.
