The beryllium tiled toroidal limiter belt that keeps the plasma from touching the walls of the reactor can be clearly seen near to the ion exhaust diver tor at the bottom of the reactor. Beryllium, atomic number 4, is a brittle, steel-gray metal found as a component of coal, oil, certain rock minerals, volcanic dust, and soil. Elemental beryllium is the second lightest of all metals and is used in a wide variety of applications. In its elemental form beryllium exhibits the unique properties of being light weight and extremely stiff, giving the metal several aerospace and nuclear applications. If the plasma should touch the stainless steel metal walls of the reactor they would melt instantly so the plasma is contained away from the walls magnetically using electrical coils mounted on the outside skin of the reactor vessel. The tiled Beryllium toroidal belt limiter and inside wall buffer zone are designed to absorb the energy of the plasma should the outer plasma edges come into contact momentarily, this could happen if instabilities are set up in the magnetically confined plasma during full power operation of around 1OOMW, enough to lift this device into outer space.....
