Fusion Science and Technology

VanDevender, J.P.; Cuneo, M.E.; Slutz, S.A.; Herrmann, Mark H.; Vesey, Roger A.; Sinars, Daniel S.; Seidel, David B.; Schneider, Larry X.; Mikkelson, Kenneth A.; Harper-Slaboszewicz, V.H.; Peyton, B.P.; Sefkow, Adam B.; Matzen, M.K.

The Meier-Moir economic model for Pulsed Power Driven Inertial Fusion Energy shows at least two approaches for fusion energy at 7 to 8 cents/kw-hr: One with large yield at 0.1 Hz and presented by M. E. Cuneo at ICENES 2011 and one with smaller yield at 3 Hz presented in this paper. Both use very efficient and low cost Linear Transformer Drivers (LTDs) for the pulsed power. We report the system configuration and end-toend simulation for the latter option, which is called the Plasma Power Station (PPS), and report the first results on the two, least mature, enabling technologies: a magnetically driven Quasi Spherical Direct Drive (QSDD) capsule for the fusion yield and an Inverse Diode for coupling the driver to the target. In addition, we describe the issues and propose to address the issues with a prototype of the PPS on the Saturn accelerator and with experiments on a short pulse modification of the Z accelerator test the validity of simulations showing megajoule thermonuclear yield with DT on a modified Z.
