It's not a solved problem (since really testing a wall design requires a working high power source of fusion neutrons), and it's not clear it can be solved in a sufficiently practical way. Indeed, the ability of the first wall to withstand the energy flowing through it will likely cause DT fusion reactors to have low volumetric power density, with sad effects on their economics.


Thanks again for the reply.
