Overall Power Core Configuration and System Integration for ARIES-ACT1 Fusion Power Plant

ARIES-ACT1 power plant has been designed and configured to allow for rapid removal of the full power core sectors followed by disassembly in the hot cells during maintenance operation. To achieve high availability and maintainablity of the fusion power plant, the power core components of a sector, including the inboard and outboard FW/blankets, upper and lower divertor, high temperature shield were integrated into one replacement unit to minimizing time comsuming handling inside plasma chamber. In this paper, the overall power core configuration and system integration, as well as the definition of the major power core components are described and the main design features are highlighted.
