Design of Apparatus in Z-Pinch Plasma Neutron Sources for Fusion-Fission Breeders

Abstract

In the fast Z-pinch experiments, the beam-target neutrons, the Deuterium-Deuterium neutrons and Deuterium-Tritium neutrons can be generated. It is a good idea to use deuterium Z-pinch plasmas to generate fusion neutrons which can be used in the fusion-fission breeders. The common design of Z-pinch plasmas apparatuses was introduced. The design of Z-pinch apparatuses for fusion-fission breeders is proposed.
