Utilization of shock wave for triggering avalanche chain reactions via mixing ICF and MCF

AAPPS Bulletin
A proton beam is produced at a velocity of the order of $${10}^{9} cm/s$$ 10 9 c m / s to interact with an uncharged hydrogen-boron medium such as $${H}_{3}B$$ H 3 B . The generated charged particles are confined by electromagnetic fields.

Computational analysis of propagation of geometrical uncertainties to tritium production in FNG WCLL experiment

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
We present a computational sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of the effect of geometrical uncertainties on the measured reaction rates in the Water Cooled Lithium Lead experimental benchmark, which is a mock-up of a tritium breeding blanket for the ...

A Spitzer Model-C Stellarator fusion reactor

AIP Advances
Tokamaks are affected by two serious problems. The first problem is the radiation damage to the internal reactor structures by energetic neutrons carrying 80% of the total fusion energy that are generated by the deuterium–tritium fusion cycle that ...

Effect of helium on micro-fracture strength for multi-ion-irradiated F82H by micro-tensile testing

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Reduced-activation ferritic-martensitic steels (RAFM) are leading candidates for application as blanket structural materials in fusion DEMO reactors. It is especially important to evaluate the effects of 14 MeV neutron irradiation on the properties of ...

Impact of Blanket Configuration on the Design of a Fusion-Driven Transmutation Reactor

International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2018
A configuration of a fusion-driven transmutation reactor with a low aspect ratio tokamak-type neutron source was determined in a self-consistent manner by using coupled analysis of tokamak systems and neutron transport.

Definition of an EU-DEMO design point robust to epistemic plasma physics uncertainties

Nuclear Fusion
A novel approach for explicitly and robustly accounting for epistemic uncertainties in plasma confinement in the 0D design of tokamaks is presented, in which the plasma safety factor at the 95th percentile flux surface, q _95 , is used to apply a design ...

High-Energy Electron Confinement in a Magnetic Cusp Configuration

Physical Review X, 2015
We report experimental results validating the concept that plasma confinement is enhanced in a magnetic cusp configuration when β (plasma pressure/magnetic field pressure) is of order unity.
