Pulsed power for fusion
Abstract
The modular ICF pulsed power concept which can provide systems to 1000 TW and 30 MJ with improvements in technology and reliability is presented. The pulsed types of accelerators are 30 to 50% efficient, and they can provide an approach to economically feasible 200 MW power reactor for ion outputs in the 1 to 3 MJ range. Repetitive pulsing of the pulsed power system for more than 10 to the 9th short lifetimes must be solved along with ion beam concentration, bunching, and drifting.
