EVOLVE-an advanced first wall/blanket system

摘要

A new concept for an advanced fusion first wall and blanket has been identified. The key feature of the concept is the use of the heat of vaporization of lithium (about 10 times higher than water) as the primary means for capturing and removing the fusion power. A reasonable range of boiling temperatures of this alkali metal is 12000-14000deg.c, corresponding with a saturation pressure of 0.035-0.2 Mpa.
