A halo plasma scraper for a tandem mirror reactor collects the particles and power that enter the halo in the central cell. A thermal-structural design is presented for a water-cooled copper collector that sustains 40 MW loading. A vacuum system design is presented for a conductance channel and pump configuration to remove the halo particles at a designated gas pressure.
