摘要
The ARIES team has examined a multitude of fusion concepts over a period of 25 years. In recent years, the team wrapped up the Advanced Research, Innovation, and Evaluation Study (ARIES) series by completing the detailed design of the ARIES-Advanced and Conservative Tokamak (ARIES-ACT2) power plant-a plant with conservative physics and technology, representing a tokamak with reducedactivation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) structure and dual-coolant lead-lithium blanket. The integration of nuclear assessments (neutronics, shielding, and activation) is an essential element to ARIES-ACT2 success. This paper highlights the design philosophy of in-vessel components and characterizes several nuclearrelated issues that have been addressed during the course of the study to improve the ARIES-ACT2 design: sufficient breeding of tritium to fuel the plasma, well-optimized in-vessel components that satisfy all design requirements and guarantee the shielding functionality of its radial/vertical builds, survivability of lowactivation/radiation-resistant structural materials in 14-MeV neutron environment, activation concerns for RAFM and corrosion-resistant oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloys, and an integral approach to handle the mildly radioactive materials during operation and after decommissioning.
