IFE chamber walls: requirements, design options, and synergy with MFE plasma facing components

“…Candidate dry chamber armor materials must have high temperature capability and good thermal properties for accommodating energy deposition and providing the required lifetime [7]. Carbon and refractory metals (e.g.…”

Induction-accelerator heavy-ion fusion: Status and beam physics issues

“…Recent studies indicate that the cost of electricity from an HIF power plant can compare favorably with those of tokamak fusion, future fission and coal, and suggest that the environmental attributes can be benign as well. [ 1, 2,3] . AlexFriedrnan INDUCI'ION-ACmMmR HIF Furthermore, the development program leading to a pilot power plant must be affordable.…”
