This is a status report on technical progress relative to the tasks identified for the first year of this activity (1 December 1985-30 November 1986). The continuation of this proposal in this submission describes plans for the second year of the project. It is noted that a new task is proposed as part of the effort for next year. The new task is in the area of blanket design for the Engineering Test Reactor (ETR). The ETR activity is a new effort within the Office of Fusion Energy and planning is now underway to organize the relevant study areas and participants. The RPI Fusion Engineering Program has been conducting research on a novel blanket concept which we believe may be of substantial benefit to the ETR activity. Thus, we are requesting additional support to participate in the ETR activity.
