Fusion power plant availability study
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2001Abstract The consideration of fusion as an alternative energy source will need to demonstrate that Fusion Power Plant (FPP) design, operating and maintenance characteristics meet the electrical market requirements forecast for the second half of this century. Until now, fusion has been developed in the framework of research and development programmes

Fusion Technology, 1996
The rationale, methodology, and updated comparative results of cost projections for magnetic-fusion-energy central-station electric power plants are considered. Changing market and regulatory conditions, particularly in the U.S., prompt fundamental reconsideration of what constitutes a competitive future energy-source technology and has implications ...

It has not yet been possible to assume that the use of fusion power plants (FPPs) will be viable. However, due to the enormous energy potential that could be tapped through them, this possibility is being actively explored. One technology that has been developed in this regard is plasma fusion, in which a plasma of heavy and superheavy hydrogen ...

Which are the competitors for a fusion power plant?
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2000Abstract The (future) competitive position of central-station fusion power will depend on the resolution of several broad public-policy issues, including the provision of adequate electrical energy to a growing world population and the interaction of economic and environmental considerations meeting evolving standards of public acceptance and ...

Safety aspects of fusion power plants
Nuclear Fusion, 2007This special issue of Nuclear Fusion contains 13 informative papers that were initially presented at the 8th IAEA Technical Meeting on Fusion Power Plant Safety held in Vienna, Austria, 10–13 July 2006. Following recommendation from the International Fusion Research Council, the IAEA organizes Technical Meetings on Fusion Safety with the aim to bring ...

A model of the availability of a fusion power plant
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2000The availability of a fusion power plant is dependent on the frequency and duration of both planned and unplanned outages. Planned outages result from a maintenance plan for major component replacement, and are entirely predictable once divertor and blanket lifetimes are established. Unplanned outages result from failures of one or more of many diverse

Environmental advantage of fusion power plants
20th IEEE/NPSS Symposium onFusion Engineering, 2003., 2006Assessment of neutron activation in fusion power plants made of candidate materials was performed with the power plant modeled after ARIES-RS. Candidate blanket concepts studied were vanadium alloy structure - lithium coolant, reduced activation ferritic martensitic structure - molten salt coolant, and SiC structure - lead lithium eutectic coolant ...

Inertial fusion commercial power plants
Journal of Fusion Energy, 1994This presentation discusses the motivation for inertial fusion energy, a brief synopsis of five recently-completed inertial fusion power plant designs, some general conclusions drawn from these studies, and an exmaple of an IEE hydrogen synfuel plant to suggest that future fusion studies consider broadening fusion use to low-emission fuels production ...

Engineering Limitations of Fusion Power Plants
Science, 1978If conditions for a net power-producing thermonuclear reaction are ever demonstrated, difficult engineering problems must still be overcome. Two such obstacles to any practical application of fusion power are the magnitude of the plant capital cost and the limited lifetime of the reactor vessel.
