Abstract :
A design window concept is developed for a He-cooled fusion reactor blanket and divertor design. This concept allows study of a parameter regime under which a possible design exists with different design requirements, such as allowable pumping fraction. The concept identifies not only the required parameter regime, but also investigates the robustness of the design, i.e., the validity of the design with change of design parameters and requirements. Some recent directions of helium cooled design for ITER and for divertor can also be explained by this design window concept
