Description
Due to the circulating energy, lower efficiencies are to be expected with fusion power plants than with nuclear fission power plants. According to the systems analysis, the mirror machine is not very promising as a power plant. The plant efficiency of the laser fusion strongly depends on the laser efficiency about which one can only make speculative statements at present. The Tokamak requires a relatively low circulating energy and is certainly able to compete regarding efficiency as long as the consumption time can be kept large (> 100 sec) and the dead time between the power pulses small (< 35 sec).

Abstract (German)
Bedingt durch die zirkulierende Energie sind bei Fusionskraftwerken niedrigere Anlagenwirkungsgrade als bei Kernspaltungskraftwerken zu erwarten. Nach der System-Analyse ist die Spiegelmaschine als Kraftwerk wenig aussichtsreich. Der Anlagenwirkungsgrad der Laserfusion haengt entscheidend von dem Laserwirkungsgrad ab, ueber den man heute nur spekulative Aussagen machen kann. Der Tokamak erfordert eine relativ niedrige zirkulierende Energie und ist vom Standpunkt der Effizienz durchaus konkurrenzfaehig, sofern die Brennzeit gross (> 100 sec) und die Totzeit zwischen den Leistungspulsen klein (< 35 sec) gehalten werden kann.
