Comments on the 12/11/00 Final Strawman ARIES-AT
Case 31002 has the following features:
- PPPL physics case with beta_N = 5.4537, disruption margin = 0
- beta = 9.18%
- f_BC = 0.915 per final revised T. K. Mau scaling
- rfCD per T. K. Mau scaling near Z_eff = 1.83
- plasma T = 18 keV, nearly optimized
- P_E = 1,000 MWe (net)
- A = 4.0 R_T = 5.20 m
- thermal conversion efficiency: 59%
- SiC/SiC. PbLi : M_n = 1.10
- final radial/vertical builds
- FW/B neutron fluence life: 18.5 MWa/m^2
- PbLi 90% enrichment 6^Li
- TFC (HTS) at B_c = 11.1 T (underutilized): check PPPL internals
- PFC model balky, but turned ON
- PFC set near that of C. KesseL
- containment shell replaces cryostat w/o individual PFC cryos
- PFC j = 30 MA/m^2 (slightly higher than for ARIES-RS)
- RAMI model turned OFF: fixed p_f ~ 0.85 w/ range
- Ar impurity (f_i=0.0020, Z_eff=1.83, f_rad=0.30 w/o mantle)
- 1992 costing, as before, pending update
