First Wall Engineering

First Wall Engineering is a specialized discipline within fusion engineering that focuses on the design, materials, and performance analysis of the plasma-facing component in a fusion reactor that directly absorbs energy and neutron flux from the confined plasma, thereby distinguishing it from other subsystems by its critical role in structural protection and thermal management.
