Abstract: New breeder blanket designs and configurations for use in a nuclear fusion reactor to breed Tritium fuel are presented. The breeder blanket designs consist of steel conduits made of different sections, formed of different steels, which are used for the circulation of liquid breeder material.

Abstract: A component inspection apparatus includes a component holder mounted on a compound slide structure. Two arrays of gauging elements are provided on a mutually perpendicularly movable slide. These arrays can be adjusted on the slide and each array includes a plurality of separate gauge elements movable by contact with the work and at least one linear transducer connected to each gauge element. In use, the slides are moved to a plurality of predetermined positions in a sequence. The displacements of the probe elements at each position are noted and compared with displacements obtained when the same sequence of positions is followed while a master componet is in the holder.
