Feasibility study of a fission-suppressed tandem-mirror hybrid reactor
Abstract
Results of a conceptual design study of a U-233 producing fusion breeder consisting of a tandem mirror fusion device and two types of fission suppressed blankets are presented. The majority of the effort was devoted to the conceptual design and evaluation of the two blankets. However, studies in the areas of fusion engineering, reactor safety, fuel reprocessing, other fuel cycle issues, economics, and deployment were also performed.
