CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THE BLANKET AND POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR A MIRROR HYBRID FUSION-FISSION REACTOR 12-MONTH PROGRESS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1975 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1976

摘要

This report presents the conceptual design and preliminary feasibility assessment for the hybrid blanket and power conversion system of the Mirror Hybrid Fusion-Fission Reactor. Existing gas-cooled fission reactor technology is directly applicable to the Mirror Hybrid Reactor. There are a number of aspects of the present conceptual design that require further design and analysis effort. The blanket and power conversion system operating parameters have not been optimized. The method of supporting the blanket modules and the interface between these modules and the primary loop helium ducting will require further design work.
