The Reversed-Field-Pinch (RFP) fusion neutron source: A conceptual design

The conceptual design of an ohmically heated, reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating at approximately 5-MW/m(2) steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading and approximately 124-MW total fusion power is presented. These results are useful in projecting the development of a cost effective, low input power, approximately 206 MW, source of DT neutrons for large-volume approximately 10 m(3), high-fluence, 3.4 MW yr/m(2), fusion nuclear materials and technology testing.
