Switching requirements for LINUS systems
Description
Fusion reactors based on the LINUS principle, that is to say adiabatic compression of plasma by imploding liners, will involve two distinct pulse-power systems. The first is required to drive the liner, and involves the order of 1 GJ which must be delivered in several milliseconds. The second system is required for the creation of the initial plasma, which, typically involves only 1% of the energy but requires a substantially shorter delivery time. The exact characteristics of this second system depends upon the specific method of plasma generation adopted
