Within Process there are variables for the radius of the cooling channels that run through components that need cooling.

In particular rcool for the centrepost

For the first wall and blankets it is afw used for inboard and outboard

There is also afwi and afwo variables that have been introduced for the inboard and outboard use of the cooling channels within the first wall and the blankets. But they only seem to be used for the stellarator model.

Surely it would be better if they are properly used in tokamak and stellarator models?

possibly it would be better to have afwi and afwo for the inboard and outboard cooling radiuses of the first wall cooling pipes

and maybe a new variable for the inboard and outboard cooling pipes for the blankets? i.e blk_rci and blk_rco

It looks as if it would not be that hard to do.

I have since discovered that a_bz_liq and b_bz_liq are used for the cooling channels within the blankets
