Advanced fusion fuel based on the (D,D) reaction has been proposed for a large fusion power plant to supply the fusile fuel for a number of non-breeding satellite (D,T) reactors. Non-breeding (D,T) reactors reveal a higher grade of simplicity and flexibility in the design and utilization. In previous work, the neutronic performance of a potential blanket tailored to the geometrical structure of the experimental facility LOTUS had been analyzed. As the geometry of a LOTUS blankets will be not compatible with a real fusion reactor confinement geometry, the design studies for a new experimental hybrid reactor in cylinderical geometry, called AYMAN, have been initiated. A potential AYMAN blanket will cover the neutron generator in all directions so that such a blanket will reflect the neutron spectrum in a proper way, comparable with the neutron spectrum in a fusion power plant.
