Neutron source based on the TORNADO trap

The TORNADO magnetic trap as a source of thermonuclear neutrons with 108 neutron per a pulse in the D-D reaction is considered. The construction of magnetic traps both with stationary and quasistationary modes of their operation is shown to be possible. The results of numerical calculation of the magnetic system parameters are given, analysis of permissible mechanical loads, turns displacements of and magnetic fields in the trap is carried out. Considerable decrease of pondermotive forces affecting the turns of an internal spiral when conserving thermo-insulating properties of the magnetic trap field is shown to be possible. The loads of the trap spiral magnet coils are shown to be also acceptable to form the stationary magnetic field of the 2 Tl order in the magnetic barrier
