The Evaluation of the Heat Loading from Steady, Transient, and Off-Normal Conditions in ARIES Power Plants
Authors: C.E. Kessel, M.S. Tillack and J. Blanchard
Abstract:
The heat loading on plasma facing components
(PFCs) provides a critical limitation for design and
operation of the first wall, divertor, and other special
components. Power plants will have high power
entering the scrape-off layer and transporting to the first
wall and divertor. Although the design for steady heat
loads is understood, the approach for transient and offnormal
loading is not. The characterization of heat
loads developed for ITER1 can be applied to power
plants to better develop the operating space of viable
solutions and point to research focus areas.
