shows the peak radiative and neutron heating loads that the
plasma-facing components are expected to absorb. In addition, the
beryllium multiplier conducts part of its internally generated heat to
the blanket-facing side of the first wall, applying a heat flux
of .135 MW/m
to this surface. The neutron heating in the first
wall was found to have a negligible effect in comparison to the
radiative heat load. Note that the SiC composite design must
tolerate a coolant pressure 5 times higher than in the vanadium design.
