General Structure Layout and Design of Target Area of SGIII Facility

Abstract:

ShenGuang III (SGIII) facility will be constructed for research in Inertial Confinement Fusion. In this paper, general structure layout and design of target area of SGIII facility are described. Target area structure support system must provide a stable and precisely platform for optical elements before and during a shot. General structure layout must satisfy the mul-function consideration and logistic priority. The modularity and hardware commonality, cleanliness, and low neutron activation should be considered in the structural design of target area. The general structure layout of target area is rectangle. The target bay and the switchyard have the multi-layered layout to satisfy the demand of transporting beam lasers unidirectionally from south to north and supporting the optics modules and physical diagnostic instruments with different height. The passageways of population & goods flow of target area are designed to include the vertical channels between the different layers and the horizontal channels on the same layer. The opto-mechanical elements (OM) are classified as OM1, OM2, and OM3. The OM1 are the infrastructures. The OM2 include target chamber, the shell of final optics assemblies, the mirror frames, and the beam enclosures. The OM3 is line replaceable units that are attached to the OM2 on kinematic equivalent three-vee mounts.
