This work was done as part of the preconceptual design of buildings and utilities for the high-field ignition experiment (HFIX). The functional and operational requirements (F and ORs) developed in the HFIX Buildings and Utilities Requirement Document provide one basis for the preconceptual design. A second basis was provided by the assumption that the HFIX project will be sited at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. (PPPL) and that maximum utilization will be made of existing buildings and utilities to satisfy HFIX buildings and utilities F and ORs. Specifically, the F and ORs developed were matched against existing PPPL buildings and utilities, including the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor buildings and utilities, in order to minimize the cost of modifications and of new buildings and site utilities. Results of this review indicate a new test cell would be required for HFIX, and preconceptual design was initiated. The rotating shield roof design was formulated during the preconceptual design as the best approach to satisfaction of the HFIX test cell F and ORs.
