“…With the values of the criticalities at BOC and EOC determined in this way, one gets the fusion powers required at these moments by means of Eqs. (3) and (4). With an assumed value of 0.15 for the plasma-Q Q p =P fus /P heat the maximal heating powers that have to be launched into the plasma are P heat =494, and 130 MW for the analog and for the near-term option, respectively.…”

Proc. 1525, 276 (2013); 10.1063/1.4802333Fission-suppressed fusion breeder on the thorium cycle and nonproliferation AIP Conf.Abstract. In this paper, a series of neutronics analysis of hybrid power reactor is proposed. The ideas of loading different fuels in a modular-type fission blanket is analyzed, fitting different level of fusion developments, i.e., the current experimental power output, the level can be obtained in the coming future and the high-power fusion reactor like ITER. The energy multiplication of fission blankets and tritium breeding ratio are evaluated as the criterion of design. The analysis is implemented based on the D-type simplified model, aiming to find a feasible 1000MWe hybrid power reactor for 5 years' lifetime. Three patterns are analyzed: 1) for the low fusion power, the reprocessed fuel is chosen. The fuel with high plutonium content is loaded to achieve large energy multiplication. 2) For the middle fusion power, the spent fuel from PWRs can be used to realize about 30 times energy multiplication. 3) For the high fusion power, the natural uranium can be directly used and about 10 times energy multiplication can be achieved.
