Tandem mirror reactor maintainability study

Conference · · Conf. Remote Syst. Technol., Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6737692
Blanket replacement for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Tandem Mirror Fusion Power Reactor was examined. Connecting large helium coolant piping and providing a vacuum seal between modules were identified as two major problems that must be resolved to remove a reactor module for blanket replacement. Possible blanket design modifications are suggested which would make blanket replacement easier. A plant arrangement was developed which will decrease the time to perform any maintenance or repair work because the facilities were designed specifically to provide an integrated reactor, plant, and maintenance system design.
