The affordable, robust, compact (ARC) reactor is the product of a conceptual design study
aimed at reducing the size, cost, and complexity of a combined fusion nuclear science …

During the past two decades there have been substantial advances in magnetic fusion
research. On the experimental front, progress has been led by the mainline tokamaks, which …

The ARC pilot plant conceptual design study has been extended beyond its initial scope [BN
Sorbom et al., FED 100 (2015) 378] to explore options for managing∼ 525 MW of fusion …

This paper attempts to bridge the gap between tokamak reactor design and plasma physics.
The analysis demonstrates that the overall design of a tokamak fusion reactor is determined …

The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a
modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was …

A fusion power plant can only exist with physics and technology acting in synchrony, over
space (angstroms to tens of metres) and time (femtoseconds to decades). Recent …

The ARIES-AT blanket has been developed with the overall objective of achieving high
performance while maintaining attractive safety features, simple design geometry, credible …

The goals for fusion power are to produce energy in as safe, economical, and
environmentally benign a manner as possible. To ensure environmentally sound operation …

Recent advances in high energy plasma physics show that nuclear fusion-the energy source
of the sun and the stars [1]-may provide the corner-stone of a future sustainable energy …
