Choice of coils for a fusion reactor.

چکیده
In a fusion reactor a hot plasma of deuterium and tritium is confined by a strong magnetic field to produce helium ions and release energetic neutrons. The 3D geometry of a stellarator provides configurations for such a device that reduce net toroidal current that might lead to disruptions. We construct smooth coils generating an external magnetic field designed to prevent the plasma from deteriorating.

SCONE code: Superconducting TF coils design code for tokamak fusion reactor
For fusion reactor design study, a maneuverable design tool of superconductor (SC) TF coils, SCONE code, has been developed. The code was originally developed to apply reactor conceptual design where a baseline design of TF coils is required rather than the detailed one. The code consistently solves heat balance, electromagnetic stress and magnetic field at the TF coil system, and eventually pr...
متن کاملConceptual Design of DC Power Supplies for FFHR
The force-free helical reactor (FFHR) is a helical-type fusion reactor whose design is being studied at the National Institute for Fusion Science. The FFHR will use three sets of superconducting coils to confine the plasma. It is not a fusion plasma experimental device, and the magnetic field configuration will be optimized for burning plasma. This paper introduces a conceptual design for a dc ...

The next major frontier in magnetic fusion physics is to explore and understand the strong non-linear coupling among confinement, MHD stability, self-heating, edge physics and waveparticle interactions that is fundamental to fusion plasma behavior. The Fusion Ignition Research Experiment (FIRE) design study has been undertaken to define the lowest cost facility to attain, explore, understand an...
متن کاملIC/P4-8 A Snowflake Divertor: a Possible Way of Improving the Power Handling in Future Fusion Facilities
Handling high power loads on plasma facing components is one of the critical issues in developing an economically competitive fusion reactor or fusion test facilities based on a tokamak. In this study, we provide a detailed analysis of a relatively unexplored approach to this problem based on the use of divertors with the poloidal magnetic field structure closely approaching a second-order null...
متن کاملUWFDM-1014 Nuclear Analysis for the Light Ion Fusion Power Reactor LIBRA-SP
A 1.2 m thick zone of blanket tubes is needed for the LIBRA-SP chamber wall to be a lifetime component. The roof should be located at 17 m from the target to be a lifetime component. The depth of the LiPb pool should be 0.6 m for the bottom plate to be a lifetime component. The required biological shield thickness is 2.5 m on the side and 2.6 m at the top. The overall TBR is 1.435 and the overa...
