Title: One-dimensional thermonuclear burn computations for the Reversed-Field Pinch Reactor (RFPR)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5236630· OSTI ID:5236630

Conceptual fusion reactor designs of the Reversed-Field Pinch Reactor (RFPR) have been based on profile-averaged zero-dimensional (point) plasma models. The plasma response/performance that has been predicted by the point plasma model is re-examined by a comprehensive one-dimensional (radial) burn code (RFPBRN) that has been developed and parametrically evaluated for the RFPR. The RFPR plasma parameters have been optimized and effects of turbulent transport and stability have been studied.
