In een fusiereactor heersen extreme omstandigheden; de wand van het reactorvat moet tegen extreme hitte bestand zijn. Veel wandmaterialen zijn al getest en te licht bevonden. Een wand van/met vloeibare metalen lijkt nu de oplossing.
Extreme conditions exist in a fusion reactor and the reactor vessel wall must be able to withstand extreme heat. Many wall materials have been tested already and found to be inadequate. A wall made of liquid metals now seems to be the solution.
