Title: Fusion, and advanced-fuel, reaction bibliography. Particle reactions from H1 to B11. Special report, 17 February-17 August 1987

Abstract

The Air Force Astronautics Laboratory has an ongoing program of studying the feasibility of fusion powered propulsion. This study first examines nuclear fuels and their associated fuel cycles. The investigated fuels and fuel cycles will then be used to explore present and proposed fusion propulsion concepts. From this study, it will be determined which concepts, if any, will be able to produce fusion propulsion systems using present or near term technology. The objective of the work reported herein was to compile a comprehensive list of the experimentally measured nuclear reactions involving the nuclides up to and including B11 (Boron-11). This compilation was performed in order to identify any new fuels and/or fuel cycles that would be potential candidate to replace the presently utilized fuels deuterium and tritium. Also, the project is intended to provide a readily accessible source of information for individuals who are studying fuels, reactions, and fuel cycles.
