Conference ·
OSTI ID:4421021
From 5th symposium on engineering problems of fusion research; Princeton, New Jersey, USA (6 Nov 1973). An engineering design of a conceptual CTR power plant is presented. The fusion reaction is produced in a plasma in a toroidal chamber having major and minor radii of 55 and 0.5 meters, respectively. Major systems discussed include: implosion heating compression/confinement, energy storage, first wall, blanket, fuel ash supply and removal, power conversion, and others, with emphasis on the engineering systems.
