Calculating the 3D magnetic field of ITER for European TBM studies

open access: yes, 2015
The magnetic perturbation due to the ferromagnetic test blanket modules (TBMs) may deteriorate fast ion confinement in ITER. This effect must be quantified by numerical studies in 3D.

Comparative evaluation of solar, fission, fusion, and fossil energy resources, part 3 [PDF]

open access: yes
The role of nuclear fission reactors in becoming an important power source in the world is discussed. The supply of fissile nuclear fuel will be severely depleted by the year 2000. With breeder reactors the world supply of uranium could last thousands of
