Advanced fuel cycles
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)
