AbstractAbstract
[en] The use of advanced-fuel (AF) fusion, particularly D-based fuels such as Cat-D and D-3He, are discussed in the context of possibly eliminating the need to breed tritium in a fusion reactor blanket. If the handling and storage of large quantities of tritium becomes a difficulty in fusion systems, such an approach would be very attractive. Further, by use of small environmentally compatible D-3He satellites, fusion energy units could be located close to the user. 3He fuel would be shipped to these satellites from remotely located semi Cat-D generator plants. If, on the other hand tritium technology is perfected, the generator-satellite concept could still be used to advantage whereby surplus tritium bred in D-t or Cat-d plants is stored and allowed to decay to 3He for use in the satellites
