Potential lithium requirements for fusion power plants [PDF]

Energy, 1978
Because future shortages of essential materials could slow the deployment of fusion power reactors, it is important to assess the future availability of these materials. This article reviews the fuel requirements of fusion power plants in current conceptual designs with emphasis on lithium requirements. The first generation fusion reactors using the

On the size of tokamak fusion power plants [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019
Figures of merit for future tokamak fusion power plants (FPPs) are presented. It is argued that extrapolation from present-day experiments to proposed FPPs must follow a consistent development path, demonstrating the largest required leaps in intermediate devices to allow safe extrapolation to an FPP.

Nonproliferation and fusion power plants

, 2022
Abstract The world now appears to be on the brink of realizing commercial fusion. As fusion energy progresses towards near-term commercial deployment, the question arises as to the role of the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) with respect to fusion, including whether the nuclear nonproliferation regime includes – or ...

A fusion power plant without plasma-material interactions [PDF]

, 1997
A steady-state fusion power plant is described which avoids the deleterious plasma-material interactions found in D-T fueled tokamaks. It is based on driven p-{sup 11}B fusion in a high-beta closed-field device, the field-reversed configuration (FRC ...

An overview of shared technical challenges for magnetic and inertial fusion power plant development

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2020
Fusion energy is an area of active development and innovation worldwide, with many design concepts studied, each exhibiting a range of technical challenges. A significant portion of technical challenges will be unique for a given design concept; however,
