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

Book Description
The conceptual design of an ohmically-heated, reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating with a 5-MWm2 steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading while generating (approximately)100-MW total fusion power is presented. These results are also useful in projecting the development of an economic source of DT neutrons for large-volume ((approximately)10 m3) fusion nuclear testing. 6 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.

Book Description
The applicability of the Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) as a source of fusion neutrons for use in developing key fusion nuclear technologies is examined. This Fusion Test Facility (FTF) would emphasize high neutron wall loading, small plasma volume, low fusion and driver powers, and steady-state operation. Both parametric tradeoffs based on present-day physics understanding and a conceptual design based on an approx. 1-MW/mS (neutron) driven operation are reported. 10 refs.

Physics Considerations of the Reversed-Field Pinch Fusion Reactor

Book Description
A conceptual engineering design of a fusion reactor based on plasma confinement in a toroidal Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) configuration is described. The plasma is ohmically ignited by toroidal plasma currents which also inherently provide the confining magnetic fields in a toroidal chamber having major and minor radii of 12.7 and 1.5 m, respectively. The DT plasma ignites in 2 to 3 s and undergoes a transient, unrefueled burn at 10 to 20 keV for approx. 20 s to give a DT burnup of approx. 50%. Accounting for all major energy sinks yields a cost-optimized system with a recirculating power fraction of 0.17; the power output is 750 MWe(net).
