Abstract
A method for removing a tile for a fusion power reactor comprises rotating the tile, which is installed in a locked orientation in a manifold channel of a first wall of the fusion power reactor, until the tile is in an install/removal orientation. The tile has a tile-support tube, attached to a back portion of the tile. The tile-support tube comprises at least one coolant channel that is perpendicular to the back portion of the tile. The method further comprises grasping the tile-support tube with a removal tool. Additionally, the method comprises lifting the tile away from the first wall of the fusion power reactor with the removal tool such that the tile is completely removed from the manifold channel of the first wall of the fusion power reactor.
