Economics of tokamak power systems
Description:
The impact of plasma operating characteristics, engineering options, and technology on the capital-cost trends of Tokamak power plants is determined. Tokamak power systems are compared to other advanced energy systems and found to be economically competitive. A three-phase strategy for demonstrating commercial feasibility of fusion power, based on a common-site multiple-unit concept, is presented.
