Abstract: The invention relates to the field of thermonuclear fusion and can be used in devices for electrically connecting components situated inside a nuclear fusion reactor chamber to the vacuum vessel of the reactor. A device for electrically connecting components situated inside a nuclear fusion reactor chamber to the vacuum vessel of the reactor comprises two identical stacks of electrically conductive plates. The electrically conductive plates are in the shape of a symmetrical wave having at least one full period. The plates in a stack are nested one inside another and are connected to flanges for attachment to a component situated inside the chamber and to the vacuum vessel. The stacks of electrically conductive plates are mounted with mirror symmetry about a line that passes through the centers of symmetry of the flanges.

Abstract: A thermonuclear reactor is provided having a vacuum casing and blanket modules connected thereto with flexible supports. The flexible supports are formed from a material with high electrical conductivity. Each flexible support is secured at one end on the vacuum casing and at the other end on a blanket module, the two secured ends of each flexible support face the blanket module. The flexible support is formed from two hollow cylindrical elements placed one in the other and perforated by longitudinal slots in a part free from mountings. The ends of the hollow cylindrical elements opposite the secured ends are connected electrically and mechanically. The technical result consists in diverting eddy currents away from a blanket module of a thermonuclear reactor and simultaneously eliminating electrical connectors from the composition of a blanket and reducing bunching on a blanket module side facing the vacuum casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of thermonuclear fusion and can be used in devices for fastening a blanket module to the vacuum vessel of a fusion reactor. A device for fastening a blanket module to a fusion reactor vacuum vessel includes a support comprising flexible rod elements arranged in the form of a bundle between two flanges, in the central portion of the flanges. The support is connected by one flange to the blanket module and is mounted via the other flange in a threaded mounting seat in the vacuum vessel, wherein the support is connected to the seat by a threaded connection via a resilient clamping sleeve. The resilient clamping sleeve is mounted on the support such as to provide contact with the inner surface of the support flange facing the vacuum vessel. The diameter of the support flange facing the vacuum vessel and the diameter of the mounting seat are selected such that a radial expansion gap is formed between the flange and the mounting seat during mounting.

Abstract: A device for electrically connecting components situated inside a nuclear fusion reactor chamber to the vacuum vessel of the reactor has two identical stacks of electrically conductive plates. The electrically conductive plates are in the shape of a symmetrical wave having at least one full period. The plates in a stack are nested one inside another and are connected to flanges for attachment to a component situated inside the chamber and to the vacuum vessel. The stacks of electrically conductive plates are mounted with mirror symmetry about a line that passes through the centers of symmetry of the flanges. The device ensures a substantially identical skin effect on all of the electrically conductive plates. In addition, the force of attraction between the outermost and center plates (the force of attraction between conductors carrying unidirectional currents) is reduced and a uniform current density distribution in each electrically conductive plate is provided.
