 note = {FFHR is a concept design of a steady-state fusion reactor that has been studied to demonstrate a large helical device (LHD)-type fusion power plant. The weight and thermal contraction of cryogenic components are sustained by support posts. A folded multi-plate-type post adopted in the LHD could be feasible for the FFHR. The dimensions of the post were determined according to the buckling load estimation against a gravitational load. Using this fundamental design, the flexibility and stress distribution of the post were calculated by a finite element method. The flexibility against the radial displacement was 24 kN/mm, and the maximum stress for a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and stainless steel plate was 155 and 544 MPa, respectively, which were below their allowable levels. The heat loads were calculated as 10.5 kW at 80 K and 0.34 kW at 4 K; the results revealed that the heat load at 4 K was almost 1/20 compared with that on a post made entirely of stainless steel. Natural frequencies were analyzed to assess safety against external loads such as an earthquake. The results showed that the LHD-type support post was suitable for the FFHR from the mechanical and thermal viewpoints.},
