The Advanced Toroidal Facility
J. F. Lyon,Benjamin A. Carreras,K. K. Chipley,M.J. Cole,J. H. Harris,T.C. Jernigan,R. L. Johnson,Vickie E. Lynch,B.E. Nelson,James A. Rome,John Sheffield,P. B. Thompson +11 more
TL;DR: The Advanced Toroidal Facility (ATF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is the world's largest stellarator experiment when it begins operation in early 1987 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of magnetic fusion reactors
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of understanding of the physics of toroidal plasmas is reviewed, and it is shown how the physics performance, constrained by technological and economic realities, determines the form of reference toroidal reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost Assessment of a Generic Magnetic Fusion Reactor
John Sheffield,R. A. Dory,S. M. Cohn,J. G. Delene,L. Parsly,D. E. T. F. Ashby,W. T. Reiersen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generic reactor model is used to examine the economic viability of electricity generation by magnetic fusion using a simple model using components that are representative of those used in previous re...

A study of options for the deployment of large fusion power plants
John Sheffield,William J. Brown,Gary Garrett,James Hilley,Dennis McCloud,Joan M. Ogden,Thomas Shields,Lester M. Waganer +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects on electrical utility system hardware, operations, and reliability of incorporating such large generating units and evaluated the use of the coproduction of hydrogen to reduce the grid-supplied electricity and offer the possibility for electrical load-following.
