This paper presents a helium cooled, lithium breeder with beryllium multiplier tandem mirror blanket concept. Beryllium has been added solely to increase blanket performance. Several candidate blanket concepts were considered. The two main conclusions emerging from this work are that: 1) all blankets have serious uncertainties and potential flaws that could limit their performance, and 2) beryllium can significantly increase economic performance.
