The reversed-field-pinch (RFP) fusion neutron source: A conceptual design

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (USA)

Description

The conceptual design of an ohmically heated, reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating at ∼5-MW/m2 steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading and ∼124-MW total fusion power is presented. These results are useful in projecting the development of a cost effective, low input power (∼206 MW) source of DT neutrons for large-volume (∼10 m3), high-fluence (3.4 MW yr/m2) fusion nuclear materials and technology testing. 19 refs., 15 figs., 9 tabs
