In-Vessel Devices Based on Capillary-Porous Systems with Liquid Metal for a Stationary Tokamak

The experience gained in developing, creating, and testing prototypes of stationary in-vessel devices based on capillary-porous systems with liquid lithium for the T-11M, T-10, KTM, and FTU tokamaks is presented. A promising scheme is proposed for designing liquid-metal-based in-vessel components with heat removal for thermonuclear reactors of the DEMO type and thermonuclear neutron sources.
