Heavy ion driven reactor-size double shell inertial fusion targets
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is considered as an alternative to Magnetic Confinement Fusion to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion. The main goal is to exploit the energy released from thermonuclear fusion reactions to produce electric energy. Heavy ion beams were proposed in 1976 as one of the possible drivers in ICF. The method consists in igniting few milligrams of deuterium-tritium...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Beams for Inertial Fusion
The United States' program in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is described in this paper, with emphasis on the studies of the use of intense high energy beams of heavy ions to provide the power and energy nkeded to initiate thermonuclear burn. Preliminary calculations of the transport of intense ion beams in an electrostatic quadrupole focussing structure are discussed. In a companion paper i...
متن کاملResearch and Development Assessments for Prometheus Heavy Ion and Laser Driven Inertial Fusion Energy Reactor Designs
Research and development assessments for two inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor design concepts developed in the Prometheus study are presented in this paper. The assessment here focuses on resolving the technical issues identified for the critical components unique to IFE: target, driver, and cavity/first wall. The two designs considered are based on heavy-ion and laser drivers.
متن کاملInertial Fusion Driven by Intense Heavy-ion Beams
Intense heavy-ion beams have long been considered a promising driver option for inertial-fusion energy production. This paper briefly compares inertial confinement fusion (ICF) to the more-familiar magneticconfinement approach and presents some advantages of using beams of heavy ions to drive ICF instead of lasers. Key design choices in heavy-ion fusion (HIF) facilities are discussed, particula...
متن کاملThe High Current Transport Experiment for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion
The High Current Experiment (HCX) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is part of the US program to explore heavy-ion beam transport at a scale representative of the low-energy end of an induction linac driver for fusion energy production. The primary mission of this experiment is to investigate aperture fill factors acceptable for the transport of space-charge-dominated heavy-ion beams at ...
