Scaling 2XIIB impurity radiation to BPNS
In this paper the author computes the radiative power losses which would be expected from the beam-plasma neutron source, which is proposed as a neutron source for doing accelerated end-of-life testing of fusion reactor materials. The source is based on a high density tritium target, bombarded with a deuterium beam of energy 120 to 150 keV. Oxygen was observed to be a major source of power loss for beam injection into the 2XIIB device, and the author considers that problem here. Oxygen impurities are a small component of the beam. The analysis indicates that higher charge states are reached in this device, resulting in less power radiation from oxygen impurities, and the beam is expected to attain higher purity levels at pulse lengths in the seconds range, than was observed in the past for millisecond pulse lengths.
