TRACT fusion reactor studies
- 1. Mathematical Sciences Northwest, Inc., Bellevue, WA
Description
The TRACT plasma concept appears to offer the promise of small fusion power reactors which can greatly reduce the financial risk associated with the commercial fusion power development program. The TRACT plasma formation and heating process is described, and a preliminary design of a small reactor which produces net electrical power is reviewed. Specific design items addressed include: plasma heating, magnet design and reliability, breeding blanket feasibility, and a maintenance concept. Preliminary power plant cost estimates are also presented
