A nuclear fusion reactor system includes a reactor core containing nuclear fusionable material and a plurality of conducting spheres arranged adjacent each other with at least two of said conducting spheres adjacent the reactor core. The reactor core and the conducting spheres form a electro / magnetic circuit such that fusion of fusionable material in the reactor core establishes an electro / magnetic flow around the electro / magnetic circuit. Preferably, a spherical electromagnetic confinement field is initiated around the reactor core such that fusion of the nuclear fusionable material generates a plasma which interacts with the spherical electromagnetic confinement field in a magnethydrodynamic manner. Preferably, electrical energy is inductively extracted in response to the electro / magnetic flow through a coil arrangement located around at least one of the conducting spheres.

The invention discloses dual-layer-flow liquid first wall cladding applicable to a magnetic confinement fusion reactor. The cladding structurally comprises a vacuum chamber, liquid metal injection pipes at the top of the vacuum chamber, an outer cladding back wall adopting a spiral insulated runner structure, an inner cladding back wall and a bottom liquid metal discharge structure. In order to solve problems of the MHD (magnetohydrodynamics) effect, the thinning effect and the like encountered by a liquid first wall during application to the fusion reactor, a special structural design is adopted: for inner cladding, the inlet injection pipes inject a liquid metal downwards from the top of the vacuum chamber along the inner cladding back wall; for outer cladding, the liquid metal is injected in the circumferential direction of the vacuum chamber, is closely attached to the outer cladding back wall and flows downwards under the effect of the centrifugal force produced due to the inertia, and overwhelms a spiral insulated runner arranged on the outer cladding back wall, so that a circumferential flow in the insulated runner and a free surface flow outside the runner are formed. The liquid metal finally flows into the bottom liquid metal discharge structure and is applied to heat transfer, tritium extraction and recycling, and the problems of the MHD effect and the thinning effect can be effectively solved.
