TLDR
In this paper, the general properties of sphere-pac beds for application in fusion breeder blankets are examined and the design correlations are compared against available fusion ceramic data, and it is concluded that ternary (three-size) beds are not attractive for fusion blankets, and that the fusion spheres should be as large as possible subject primarily to packing constraints.About:
