A serious effort was devoted in the Phase-1 study for INTOR to identifying critical issues and developing credible design concepts for the nuclear systems. Erosion by charge-exchange neutrals and effects of plasma disruption are key issues for the first wall. A melt layer is predicted to develop in a bare stainless steel wall under plasma disruptions. Graphite tiles will not melt but they introduce serious uncertainties into the design. A partial tritium-producing blanket will be installed on INTOR to reduce the cost of externally supplied tritium. The key issue is the solid breeder blanket concept relates to the effect of radiation on tritium inventory in the blanket. The design strategy for the divertor collector plate focused on separating the surface and high heat flux problems and on utilizing a novel mechanical design concept for attaching tungsten tiles to a stainless steel (or copper) heat sink.
