FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: thermonuclear reactor contains a vacuum vessel and blanket modules connected to it by means of flexible supports. Flexible supports additionally perform the functions of electrical connectors, while the supports are made of a material with a high electrical conductivity. Each flexible support with one end is fixed to the vacuum housing and the other - to the blanket module, the two fixed ends of each flexible support face the blanket module, and the flexible support itself is made of two hollow cylindrical elements nested one in the other and perforated with longitudinal slots in the part, free from fastenings, the ends of the hollow cylindrical elements, opposite to the fixed ends, are electrically and mechanically connected.
EFFECT: discharging the eddy currents from the thermonuclear reactor blanket module with the simultaneous exclusion of electrical connectors from the blanket and the reduction of the side pressure of the blanket module facing the vacuum housing.
