Abstract

The First Wall/Blanket/Shield Engineering Test Program (FW/B/S Program), is a broadly based program aimed at developing engineering technology for fusion. Roughly half of the program is devoted to thermo-mechanical and thermal-hydraulic testing. The facilities, test plans and general strategy for this part of the program are reviewed with emphasis on the electron beam facilities being used to apply surface heat loads to test heat rejection panels and on the generic issues in fusion blanket technology targeted for investigation and in particular, heat transfer from solid tritium breeding compounds.
