Abstract

The IPFR (Integrated Pool Fusion Reactor) concept involves placing a fusion reactor into a pool of molten Flibe. The Flibe serves the multiple functions of breeding, cooling, shielding, and moderating. Therefore, the only structural material between the superconducting magnets and the plasma is the first wall. The first wall is a stand-alone structure with no coolant connection and is cooled by Flibe at atmospheric pressure. There is also no need for a primary coolant loop. The design is expected to improve the safety, reliability, and maintainability aspects of the fusion system.
