Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The low Z armor tiles of the First Wall (FW) are designed. The thermohydraulics analysis, evaluation of the thickness for evaporated erosin are performed. In addition, surface heat flux of the FW caused by runaway electrons, the electromagnetic loads, impact of the FW protection layer thickness on neutronics performance, and tritium inventory of the FW tiles are calculated.
