UWFDM-1243 Attractive Design Approaches for a Compact Stellarator Power Plant

UWFDM-1324 Nuclear Challenges and Progress in Designing Stellarator Power Plants

Over the past 2-3 decades, stellarator power plants have been studied in the U.S., Europe, and Japan as an alternate to the mainline magnetic fusion tokamaks, offering steady state operation and eliminating the risk of plasma disruptions. The earlier 1980s studies suggested large stellarators with an average major radius exceeding 20 m. The most recent development of the compact stellarator con...
