Physics basis for a reversed shear tokamak power plant
Stephen Jardin,C.E. Kessel,Charles G. Bathke,David A. Ehst,T. K. Mau,Farrokh Najmabadi,T.W. Petrie +6 more
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
Stephen Jardin,Charles Kessel,T. K. Mau,Robert L. Miller,Farrokh Najmabadi,Vincent Chan,M. S. Chu,R.J. LaHaye,Lang L. Lao,T.W. Petrie,P. A. Politzer,H.E. St. John,P. B. Snyder,G. M. Staebler,A. D. Turnbull,W. P. West +15 more
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

C.P.C. Wong,E Chin,T.W. Petrie,E.E. Reis,Mark S. Tillack,X.R. Wang,I.N. Sviatoslavsky,Siegfried Malang,D.K. Sze +8 more
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.

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.
