Basic characteristics of CREST high plasma high thermal efficiency with water/steam cooled system (ODS-ferritic steel F82H, 350~900K) easy maintenance for high availability full sector removal large TF coils and large horizontal ports (14 in total) tritium self-sufficient (Li 2 ZrO 3 + Be pepple bed blanket) moderate aspect ratio and elongation (similar to ITER advanced mode plasma) competitive cost Zr shell In the high reversed shear plasma configuration, the conducting wall near the plasma is required to avoid ideal MHD instabilities

Conclusion
39
necessary calculation on analysis on neutronics issues for CREST in 3D model are done max. wall loading(MW/m 2) 4.29(i/b); 6.30(o/b); 4.17(aver.) max DPA/FPY 51.9 (i/b); 39.8(o/b); 38.1(aver.) ~3yr tritium self-surficient (Total TBR >1) energy multiplication M ~1.4 Nuclear heat to TF coils is < ITER’s criteria max nuclear heat density in TF coil: 4.7mW/cm 3
40
TBR: Contribution of 6 Li and 7 Li: ~99%; ~1% Contribution of the i/b and o/b blankets: ~25%; 75% (the same for 2D and 3D results) Reduction of TBR due to the NBI port is 0.03 TBR = 1.27 for 3D 1/7 model reducing of TBR is ~0.05 (comparing the result of 3D(1/7) model with that of 2D model) The effect of Zr shell to TBR is 0.03 in 2D model.
41
results are reasonable consistent with some of 1D ANISN results done before analysis on damage to TF coil due to openings such as NBI port etc are underway
