Maintainability of fusion reactors will be a major criterion in deciding if fusion can become an economic source of energy. This paper examines some of the design considerations which will facilitate maintainability of these reactors. Three critical areas of maintenance are examined, the blanket, toroidal field coils and poloidal field coils. Particular emphasis is given to the problem of accessibility. These design considerations are directly applicable to fusion reactors of toroidal geometry; however, some can be used by other fusion concepts also.
