The TFCX conceptual designs call for the construction of the reactor torus through the use of “pie-shaped” segments for mechanical and maintenance considerations. The use of this concept results in hot spots in the inboard section of the torodial field (TF) coils due to neutron and photon streaming through the slots between the segments. This work studies these effects on the nuclear responses in the TF coils and introduces design solutions to reduce the impact on the reactor design.
