Manufacturing Strategies for NITE-processed SiC/SiC Ceramic Composite Components in the Liquid Sandwich Vacuum Vessel for Fusion Reactors

In nuclear fusion tokamaks, vacuum vessels must be able to withstand large disruption forces resulting from potential plasma quenches. The Liquid Sandwich Vacuum Vessel (LSVV) is a novel alternative to conventional thick steel vacuum vessels. In the LSVV design, liquid lead circulates through channe...
