Heat-Flux Handling

Managing the intense heat loads on plasma-facing components.

First-wall load

1.97 MW/m2

The divertor and first wall must survive concentrated heat loads without failing. HYPERION's first wall is rated for 1.97 MW/m2, and its divertor relies on a high radiated fraction to spread the load — a named performance gate.

The burner's linear geometry and low neutron fraction give it far gentler heat-handling requirements.
