Abstract
A power producing tokamak hybrid reactor was designed on the concept of fast fission blanket containing equilibrium plutonium. A pressure tube type blanket cooled with helium was adopted for the fuel blanket. The study includes nuclear and thermal hydraulic design of the blanket. The net electrical output is 723 MW. The blanket safety performance was analyzed on residual heat removal and accidental criticality. Transient thermal calculations were performed for emergency reactor shutdown, loss of coolant flow accident, loss of coolant accident and local blockage accident. Reactivity effects were also estimated for loss of coolant accident, steam ingress accident and blanket melt down.
