The fixed boundary plasma equilibrium basis for a one Gigawatt electric stellarator power plant
Samuel A. Lazerson, António J. Coelho, Dana Douqa +9
A fixed boundary stellarator equilibrium capable of producing 3 GW of fusion power (1 GW-electric) is presented as the design basis for the GIGA fusion power plant being developed…
Harnessing Toroidal Neutral Flows to Enhance Divertor Particle Exhaust
M. Moscheni, A. Herrmann, J. D. Lore +5
In 1991 Reiter et al. (1991 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 33 1579) considered the onerous exhaust requirements of ITER, and wrote: "The vacuum pumping problem of a fusion reactor wi…
Multi-Machine Scaling Laws for Fuel and Impurity Puffing Rates Sufficient for Detachment Access: a Systematic Review of Magnetic Confinement Fusion Devices
M. Moscheni, A. Herrmann, R. Kembleton +8
An open-source database of 457 experimental and numerical entries representing 32 machinesincluding tokamaks, stellarators, and linear plasma devicesis assembled. From this d…
Direct optimization of neoclassical ion transport in stellarator reactors
B. F. Lee, S. A. Lazerson, H. M. Smith +2
We directly optimize stellarator neoclassical ion transport while holding neoclassical electron transport at a moderate level, creating a scenario favorable for impurity expulsion…
