TL;DR: The ARIES-AT as discussed by the authors is a simple low-pressure design consisting of SiC composite boxes with a SiC insert for flow distribution that does not carry any structural load.

TL;DR: The ARIES-RS tokamak is a conceptual, D-T-burning 1000 MWe power plant as mentioned in this paper, which employs a reversed-shear plasma and employs a moderate aspect ratio (A40).

TL;DR: A number of promising routes for optimizing the radiation stability of ceramic matrix composites were identified at a workshop sponsored by the Offices of Fusion Energy and Basic Energy Sciences of the US Department of Energy and Lockheed Martin Corporation with forty attendees from national laboratories, universities and industry as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The ARIES-I project as discussed by the authors is a multi-institutional effort to develop several visions of tokamak reactors with enhanced economic, safety, and environmental features, including a high performance, low activation, SiC composite blanket cooled by He, and an advanced Rankine power cycle.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1000 MWe conceptual fusion power plant design with a very low projected cost of electricity is presented, which contains many innovative features to improve both the physics and engineering performance of the system.
