A process has been developed and applied to the technical planning of experiments and facilities for fusion nuclear technology. The process involves: (1) characterization of issues; (2) quantification of testing requirements; (3) evaluation of facilities; and (4) development of a test plant to identify the role, timing, characteristics, and costs of major experiments and facilities. The nuclear subsystems addressed are: (1) blanket, including the first wall; (b) radiation shield; (c) tritium processing system; and (d) plasma interactive components. Particular emphasis has been placed on the complex technical issues and development problems of the blanket.
