Abstract A nuclear analysis was carried out for a heavy ion-beam fusion reactor, HIBLIC. The analysis includes the target and chamber neutronics, time-dependent radiation damage in the first wall, and radiation streaming through beam ports. It is found that the reactor chamber is characterized by its high tritium breeding ratio, low radiation damage in the second wall, and low induced activity. To reduce the radiation damage in the superconducting, focusing magnets, tapering the beam ports along the direct line-of-sight component of the source neutron is necessary in the magnet regions and also in the collimator region.
