UWFDM-814 Pellet Fueling of Helium-3 Enclosed in Li and Be Shells
نویسنده
چکیده
The proposed design of a fuel pellet containing liquid 3He enclosed in a spherical Be shell of 300 μm thickness and overcoated with D2 solid appears to be adequate for fueling large size d/3He tokamaks. Smaller pellets of this design could be used for near-term experiments. The pellet fabrication should be simple and the components are non-radioactive.
