Status of ARIES-AT Blanket and First Wall Design Presented by A. René Raffray ARIES Meeting December 1-3, 1999 UCSD, San Diego, CA  Blanket Presentation Outline ? Status (RR) - Design philosophy and guidelines emerging from initial design effort - MHD flow considerations - FW flow channel configuration and routing - Example design point ? Overall Coolant Routing and Assembly Considerations (IS) ? Alternative Blanket Configuration Based on Same Design Guidelines (SM) ? Discussion Session (All) - Help converge on final configuration - Identify key issues on which to focus future efforts SiCf/SiC Properties Used for ARIES-AT Blanket Analysis Density (kg/m3) 3200 Density Factor 0.95 Youngs Modulus (GPa) 360 Poissons ratio 0.16 Thermal Expansion Coef.
