THERMONUCLEAR REACTOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear engineering; thermonuclear reactors. SUBSTANCE: thermonuclear reactor has evacuated vessel and blanket assembled of modules provided with their position control system; the latter is assembled of eccentric supporting units disposed in evacuated vessel seats; modules are installed and secured in position on eccentric supporting units. Blanket forms vacuum cavity close as much as possible to design organization of working space for thermonuclear reactor due to capability of controlling position of blanket modules during installation. In addition proposed mechanical design of thermonuclear reactor makes it possible to reduce auxiliary clearances in blanket and to easily bring service lines out of blanket through evacuated vessel. EFFECT: enhanced reliability and simplified design of reactor. 4 cl, 21 dwg
