چکیده
This report presents a conceptual design of the magnet systems for an advanced tokamak fusion reactor (ARIES-AT). The main focus of the paper is to anticipate and extrapolate the current state-of-the-art in high temperature superconductors and coil design, and apply them to an advanced commercial fusion reactor concept. The current design point is described and supported with a preliminary structural analysis and a discussion of the merits, performance, and economics of high temperature vs. low temperature superconductors in an advanced fusion tokamak reactor design.

Nuclear performance assessment of ARIES-AT
The transition to a new ARIES design always involves a significant change in the engineering system with emphasis on high performance. Compared to ARIES-RS, numerous improvements were noted in ARIES-AT, ranging from physics improvements to a focus on advanced engineering for an economically and environmentally attractive source of energy. A key engineering aspect of ARIES-AT is its compactness ...
متن کاملSuperconducting poloidal field magnet engineering for the ARIES-ST
The critical issues of the poloidal systems for the ARIES-ST design have been presented in this paper. Because of the large plasma current and the need of highly shaped plasmas, the poloidal field (PF) coils should be located inside the toroidal field in order to reduce their current. Even then, the divertor coils carry large currents. The ARIES-ST PF coils are superconducting using the interna...

Neutron streaming through penetrations compromises the shielding performance of fusion devices. To characterize the problem, the effects of neutron streaming through the divertor Heaccess pipe on the peaking of radiation-induced damage across the ARIES-CS power plant components were compared to the nominal values for the different components. The results show that due to streaming the damage ex...

The recent development of the compact stellarator concept delivered ARIES-CS – a compact stellarator with 7.75 m average major radius, approaching that of tokamaks. In stellarators, the most influential engineering parameter that determines the machine size and cost is the minimum distance between the plasma boundary and mid-coil (∆min). Accommodating the breeding blanket and necessary shield w...
