A magnetic fusion blanket/heat exchanger concept is described in which lithium-lead pellets are melted within a fluidized blanket surrounding the plasma chamber. The liquid lithium-lead is then allowed to fall in droplet form through a counter-flowing inert gas heat exchanger where the tritium is extracted from the droplets and the sensible and latent heat of the lithium-lead is transferred to the gas by direct contact. This concept sharply reduces the tritium holdup time compared with other breeding blanket while permitting efficient heat transport from a magnetic fusion blanket at moderate pressure and low pumping power.
