Isotope Production in Fusion Systems
J. F. Parisi, J. A. Schwartz, S. E. Wurzel +2
Fusion systems producing isotopes via neutron-driven transmutation can achieve economic viability well before reaching energy breakeven. Incorporating carefully selected feedstock…
Production of High-Specific-Activity Radioisotopes Using High-Energy Fusion Neutrons
J. F. Parisi, A. Rutkowski, J. Harter +2
We show that transmutation driven by high-energy neutrons from deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactions can produce many important medical radioisotopes - including P, $^{60…
Analytic neutron wall loading from spin-polarized fusion in axisymmetric geometries
Jacob A. Schwartz
Spin-polarized nuclei can be used to enhance the fusion reaction rate, preferentially direct neutrons and alpha particles, or do some combination of these. In this paper we present…
Simultaneous Enhancement of Tritium Burn Efficiency and Fusion Power with Low-Tritium Spin-Polarized Fuel
J. F. Parisi, A. Diallo, J. A. Schwartz
This study demonstrates that using spin-polarized deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel with more deuterium than tritium can increase tritium burn efficiency (TBE) by at least an order of m…
