Next European Torus In-Vessel Components

The Next European Torus (NET) in-vessel components consisting of first wall, divertor, and blanket/shield are subject to severe nuclear and thermal radiation. Their reliability and maintainability are crucial to the success of the NET mission. The requirements, options, preliminary design solution, and materials considerations for these components are described.
