Description

This paper describes an up-dated version of the small mirror reactor for a Fusion Engineering Research Facility (FERF) and describes the present status of technology development and the goals required for the magnet, neutral beam injectors, plasma start-up, and remote handling operations. The conventional mirror FERF design has a ''Yin-Yang'' minimum parallel B parallel magnetic well with plasma end-losses sustained by continuous injection of up to 500 A of neutral particles. Injection energy is 65 keV (D0) and 97.5 keV (T0). A ''low-field'' version, 3.75 T central vacuum field, produces 3.4 MW of fusion power and about 1014 n/cm2.s uncollided 14-MeV neutron current emanating from the plasma
