Description

Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) fusion was recently described by an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) review panel as potentially leading to a most attractive fusion reactor from a utility point of view, if the physics issues can be resolved. Consequently, a design for a small 25-MW electric D-3He fueled power plant has been explored. Key power plant components consist of the IEC, direct energy conversion and a step-down converter for electrical power transmission. (author)
