Physics basis for a reversed shear tokamak power plant

TL;DR: In this paper, the reversed shear plasma configuration is examined as the basis for a tokamak fusion power plant and a divertor solution is found which employs neon impurity injection to enhance the radiation in the scrape-off layer (SOL) and divertor and results in a combined particle and heat load in the divertor of 5 6M W m 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physics basis for the advanced tokamak fusion power plant, ARIES-AT

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the advanced tokamak as the basis for a fusion power plant and proposed the ARIES-AT design with an aspect ratio of A ≡ R / a = 4.0, an elongation and triangularity of κ = 2.20, δ = 0.90, and a toroidal beta of β = 9.1 %.
Journal ArticleDOI

ARIES-RS divertor system selection and analysis

TL;DR: The ARIES-RS divertor system as discussed by the authors uses adjustable bolts to support the divertor plates, withstand disruption loads and allow adjustment of alignment between plates, which can satisfy all the design criteria and most of the functional requirements specified by the project.
ReportDOI

Physics Basis for the Advanced Tokamak Fusion Power Plant ARIES-AT

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the advanced tokamak as the basis for a fusion power plant, and proposed an ARIES-AT design with an aspect ratio of A always equal to R/a = 4.0, an elongation and triangularity of kappa = 2.20, delta = 0.91, and total plasma current I(sub)P = 12.8 MA, and toroidal field of 11.1 T.
