The ARIES-3 D-He-3 tokamak reactor: Design-point determination and parametric studies
Abstract
The multi-institutional ARIES study has generated a conceptual design of another tokamak fusion reactor in a series that varies the assumed advances in technology and physics. The ARIES-3 design uses a D-He-3 fuel cycle and requires advances in technology and physics for economical attractiveness. The optimal design was characterized through systems analyses for eventual conceptual engineering design. Results from the systems analysis are summarized, and a comparison with the high field, D-T fueled ARIES-1 is included.
