One approach to a problem:Keep doing what you’re doing…

and hope no one will notice

“Genius is one percent inspiration andninety-nine percent perspiration.”.....Thomas Edison

We are going to perspire and inspire

We have an excellent R&D program to understand the behavior of solid tungsten armor.

We need to allow for innovative concepts that may lead to a first wall solution magnetic interventionengineered wallsadvanced armor/chamber concepts

Special discussion period on first wall (and MI dump) “armor” concepts

Thanks Camille...and good luck!
