Description
Twelve Marx generators, with a total stored energy of 26.4 MJ and a diode voltage of 10 or 5 MV, supply the energy to diodes to extract proton beams. A combination of two types of diodes is used. The proton beam pinches to a small radius by the azimuthal magnetic field, and its propagation is stabilized by the axial magnetic field. The cryogenic 6-mm-radius hollow shell target consists of three layers of lead, aluminum, and deuterium-tritium fuel. The target is imposed by a biased voltage of -1 MV in order to focus the proton beams on the target surface. The net plant efficiency is expected to be 33%, and the 800-MW (electric) net power can be supplied from one reactor with a 1-Hz operation frequency
