Conceptual Design Of A Reversed Field Pinch Fusion Neutron Source

The conceptual design of an ohmically-heated, reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating with a 5-MWm2 steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading while generating (approximately)100-MW total fusion power is presented. These results are also useful in projecting the development of an economic source of DT neutrons for large-volume ((approximately)10 m3) fusion nuclear testing. 6 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
