Session RP1 - Poster Session VIII.
POSTER session, Thursday afternoon, October 30
Fran Hill Southeast Exhibit Hall, ACC
The design of the first wall of the Ignitor machine^2 involves a system of Molybdenum tiles that constitute a “continuous limiter” surrounding nearly all of the plasma column. Sets of tiles are connected to tile carrying plates that can be replaced by an appropriate remote handling system. The adopted solutions for the attachment of each tile to the tile carrier and of the tile carrier to the plasma chamber on the inboard side and to the appropriate supporting structure on the outboard side are described. The relevant structural analysis is presented.
