Overview of the TITAN-2 reversed-field pinch aqueous fusion power core design
Abstract
TITAN-2 is a compact, high power density Reversed-Field Pinch fusion power reactor design based on the aqueous lithium solution fusion power core concept. The selected breeding and structural materials are LiNO3 and 9-C low activation ferritic steel, respectively. TITAN-2 is a viable alternative to the TITAN-1 lithium self-cooled design for the Reversed-Field Pinch reactor to operate at a neutron wall loading of 18 MW/sq m. Submerging the complete fusion power core and the primary loop in a large pool of cool water will minimize the probability of radioactivity release. Since the protection of the large pool integrity is the only requirement for the protection of the public, TITAN-2 is a passive safety assurance design.
