Description
Producing the cryogenic cooling for the torus exhaust pumping system may require significant electrical power. I suggest we put together a simple model for this.
Some resources:
#305 (and #546)
#335
STEP cryopump calculations
The fuel throughput will depend on the burnup - #295, #1746, #2702.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issues #305, #546, #335, #295, #1746, and #2702, along with the linked STEP cryopump calculations. Define the required inputs, outputs, and model scope for estimating the electrical power needed for torus exhaust cryogenic cooling; done means a documented, usable estimate integrated into PROCESS.
