D and T fuels inhomogeneous mixing in ICF pellet implosion

  • 1. Nagaoka Univ. of Technology, Niigata (Japan)

Description

This paper shows that a 5 - 15% mixing inhomogeneity of the deuterium (D) and tritium (T) concentrations in a D-T pellet still gives a sufficient fusion energy output in D-T inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Numerical and analytical studies support this new result as long as the D and T total amounts are equal and the implosion process is stable. This result means that fusion energy output and burn process are rather insensitive to the initial inhomogeneous fuel mixing in the D-T ICF pellet. (author)
