FUSION-REACTOR DESIGN STUDIES

This paper is a summary of fusion reactor design studies presented and discussed at the IAEA Technical Committee Meeting and Workshop on Fusion Reactor Design and Technology, held in September 1993 at the University of California, Los Angeles. This summary does not represent all the reactor design studies carried out in the world since the last meeting in Yalta in 1986. The reactor designs presented are mostly D-T fuel cycle with both magnetic confinement and inertial confinement. As a D-He-3, only the ARIES-III was presented. Steady state and pulsed tokamak studies, stellarator and reversed field pinch reactor studies are summarized. Six recent D-T inertial confinement fusion reactors presented at the meeting are summarized. A short summary on D-He-3 reactors and fusion-fission hybrid reactor design's is given.
