Steady-State Thermonuclear Power Generation in a Two-Energy-Component Astron Device,

Abstract

Energetic neutral beams and the two-energy-component reactor principle can be employed in Astron magnetic-field geometry to produce a steady-state fusion device with the following features: (1) lenient breakeven conditions (as in other types of two-component devices); (2) self-confinement of the energetic ions; and (3) closed minimum-B configuration for stable plasma confinement.
