Design of Superheated Steam Producing Blanket for a d-d Tokamak

A high-temperature first wall/limiter/blanket which would take full advantage of the absence of tritium breeding in a d-d reactor was designed. This design which produces steam at P = 12.4 MPa and T = 538°C at the blanket exit, eliminates the requirement for a separate steam generator. A steam cycle with steam-to-steam reheat yielding about 40.5 percent efficiency is compatible with this design.
