UWFDM-962 Nuclear Analysis for the Inertially Confined Direct Drive Laser Fusion Power Reactor SIRIUS-P
نویسنده
چکیده
The SIRIUS-P commercial reactor design produces 1000 MWe and is driven by 60 KrF laser beams. The chamber has an inner radius of 6.5 m and consists of a first wall fabricated from a carbon/carbon composite and a blanket made of SiC. The chamber is cooled by a flowing granular bed of solid ceramic material, TiO2 for the first wall and Li2O for the blanket. The overall tritium breeding ratio is 1.09 and the overall energy multiplication is 1.08. Adequate shielding is provided around the chamber to reduce the operational dose to acceptable levels. Grazing incidence metallic mirrors are utilized to enhance the lifetime of the dielectric coated final focusing mirrors.

A three-dimensional neutronics calculation has been performed for the final optics of the laser driven reactor SIRIUS-P. The reactor utilizes grazing incidence metallic mirrors (GIMM) and dielectric coated final focusing (FF) mirrors placed at 25 and 40 m from the target, respectively. High aspect ratio neutron traps are attached to the outer reactor containment building. The GIMM can have a li...

This paper investigates whether a fusion power plant could be designed to be passively proliferation-proof. Even low neutron production rates enable fissile-fuel breeding, so such a fusion reactor must burn neutron-lean fuels. To burn these fuels economically requires a highpower-density fusion concept, and a D-He field-reversed configuration will be analyzed here. The paper discusses physics a...
