Blanket Module

A replaceable segment of the breeding blanket.

The breeding blanket is built from modular segments that can be maintained or replaced remotely. Each captures neutrons to breed tritium (toward TBR 1.8) and recover heat. Modularity is central to plant availability.

The breeding blanket is built from modular segments that can be maintained or replaced remotely, each slowing neutrons to breed tritium (toward ratio 1.8) and recovering their energy as heat. Modularity is central to plant availability, because it lets worn breeding units be swapped without rebuilding the machine.
