A comparison between a steady state and a pulsed fusion power plant

open access: yesFusion Engineering and Design, 2011
In the paper the first results of a simplified code (FRESCO) for the evaluation of capital cost and cost of electricity of a D-T Tokamak fusion power plant are reported.

Modular fusion power plant

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract The mainstream approach to the fusion power, following the JET/JT60-SA − ITER − DEMO route, assumes increase in the size and development of new physics and technologies at each step. In this paper, we present an alternative route, based on the modular approach, when the economically feasible fusion power plant will consist of several modules,

Fusion Energy and Future Fusion Power Plants

Volume 5: Cycle Innovations
Abstract Fusion energy offers clean, reliable power for future generations and is undeniably part of a fully sustainable energy mix. Fusion combines two light atomic nuclei to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. To fuse atoms requires extremely high temperatures and pressures, in a plasma, to overcome the

Activation of beryllium in a fusion power plant

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 1998
Abstract The activation and transmutation behaviour of beryllium in the first wall of a fusion power plant has been studied using the up-to-date inventory code FISPACT-97. Assuming detritiation, the activity and dose rate will be determined by the impurities initially present in the material.

Fusion power plant availability study

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2001
Abstract 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 Power Plant Economics

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 ...

Fusion power plants

2011
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, 2000
Abstract 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 ...
