Four workshops in alternate concepts in controlled fusion. Part B. Extended summaries
A review has been completed of fourteen alternate fusion reactor concepts that could lead to more practical power plants. These concepts are in addition to the Tokamak and mirror concepts which are presently receiving the bulk of the U.S. R and D effort. The concept characterizations were assembled by means of workshops and are presented in two sets of summaries. Part A is a concise executive summary written in nontechnical language and suitable for reading by executives who do not require a discussion of scientific details. A longer, more technical summary is presented in Part B. The objective is a presentation of the facts in a neutral tone without overselling or overcriticizing any concept. The concepts reviewed were limited to those employing magnetic confinement techniques for pure fusion power production.
