Quasi-steady FRC Fusion Reactor by Slough, John (University of Washington) A unique approach to achieving a burning plasma in ITER era that employs the "conventional" regime of a high density FRC where the FRC has already demonstrated the confinement scaling and stability required for fusion gain at confining fields of 15 T. To achieve the fusion regime, the FRC is repetively formed, kinetically heated, and compressed into a high field SC solenoid. This process can be accomplished with high efficiency providing an ideal volumetric neutron source for componant testing and tritium breeding. - File: Quasisteady FRC Fusion Reactor.pdf
