OSTI ID:6635249
The possibility of designing compact fusion reactor systems using highly-efficient particle beam drivers has been investigated. Analyses of the principal criteria which govern the design of particle-beam-driven reactors (PBDR) have indicated the feasibility of small (R less than 3m) reactor systems of the 100 MWe class which could operate with low pellet yields (Y approximately 30 MJ) and moderate recirculating power fraction (f approximately .25). This paper discusses PBDR design criteria and points out differences between laser-driven and particle-beam-driven reactors.
