Advanced fuel cycles

  • 1. Nagoya Univ. (Japan). Inst. of Plasma Physics

Description

Parametric studies of operation conditions are carried out and reactor prospects of advanced fuel cycles are examined. It is found that the high-β Catalyzed DD fuel cycle with the transmutation of fusion-produced tritium into helium-3 is most feasible from the point of view of neutron production and tritium handling. D-D fuel cycles seem to be less attractive compared to the Catalyzed DD. The p-11B and p-6Li fusion plasmas hardly attain the plasma Q value relevant to reactors. (author)
