TOROIDAL STRETCHED-PLASMA THERMONUCLEAR PLANT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: controlled thermonuclear fusion. SUBSTANCE: loops of pinch vertical position passive stabilization in toroidal stretched-plasma thermonuclear plant are formed by adjacent ribbed surfaces of rear walls of blanket sections mounted in vacuum chamber of plant and vacuum chamber wall closest to them. Ribs are made of structural materials of blanket and chamber and oriented in toroidal direction. Surfaces of adjacent ribs form zigzag-shaped insulating gaps. Ribbing may be also provided on side adjacent walls of blanket sections. EFFECT: reduced cost for radioactive waste burial, improved operating reliability of plant. 2 cl, 3 dwg
