Development strategy for steady-state fusion volumetric neutron source based on the gas-dynamic trap

Abstract: The paper presents the project and the development strategy of a continuously operating high-flux (>) fusion volumetric neutron source. The proposed facility is based on the gas-dynamic magnetic plasma confinement device with high-power () neutral beam injection. Project roadmap includes construction of several prototype installations addressing a specific set of physics and engineering problems, starting from the continuous operation of critical subsystems and ending with advanced plasma physics problems spec… Show more

“…In recent years, modern open traps have shown significant progress in the parameters of confined plasmas [1,2] and already achieved those needed for a number of practical fusion applications [3,4]. However, in order to reliably predict the energy confinement of continuously operating mirror-based fusion devices, it is necessary to check the fundamental theoretical predictions about the longitudinal energy losses in open traps at more relevant plasma parameters compared to the existing studies of such kind.…”

“…Probably oblivion for many years of LoDestro's work is due to the early termination of the TMX (Tandem Mirror Experiment) and MFTF-B (Mirror Fusion Test Facility B) projects in the USA in the same 1986 [14]. However, the achievement of high electron temperature and high beta in the gas dynamic trap (GDT) at the Institute of Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], emergence of new ideas [24] and new projects [25,26] makes us rethink old results.…”

“…The 1st GDT-FNS Workshop was held jointly in November 2018 in Hefei, China, by the two institutes, INEST and BINP, as the first step to attract more partners to join in this work. It launched an intense process resulted in a first version of the ALIANCE project proposal submitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the journal of Nuclear Fusion [5]. The workshop was attended by thirty delegates representing BINP (Novosibirsk, Russian Federation), INEST (Hefei, China), Trialpha Technologies (TAE, Foothill Ranch, USA), Russian Federal Nuclear Center Zababakhin All-Russian Federation Research Institute of Technical Physics (VNIITF, Snezhinsk, Russian Federation), Novosibirsk State University (NSU, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation), Uppsala University (UU, Uppsala, Sweden), Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU, Tomsk, Russian Federation), and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (KazNU, Almaty, Kazakhstan).…”
