Plasma experiments with 1. 06. mu. m lasers at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory

Description: Recent laser fusion experiments at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory have provided basic data concerning laser beam propagation and absorption in high temperature plasmas, electron energy transport processes that transfer the absorbed laser energy to the high density ablation region, the general fluid dynamic expansion and compression of the heated plasma, and the processes responsible for the production of 14 MeV neutrons during implosion experiments. This paper reports results related to the prop… more

SUPERDAN: computer programs for calculating the Dancoff factor of spheres, cylinders, and slabs

Description: Resonance integral calculations for a reactor lattice require the use of the Dancoff factor. In the past, tables and approximate expressions have been used to obtain this value. In order to reduce the uncertainty in the use of approximations and to avoid the inconvenience of tables, a series of computer programs has been written to calculate the Dancoff factor. Three computer programs have been prepared, one each for infinitely long cylinders, spheres, and infinite slabs. The program for cylind… more

Development path of low aspect ratio tokamak power plants

Description: Recent advances in tokamak physics indicate the spherical tokamak may offer a magnetic fusion development path that can be started with a small size pilot plant and progress smoothly to larger power plants. Full calculations of stability to kink and ballooning modes show the possibility of greater than 50% beta toroidal with the normalized beta as high as 10 and fully aligned 100% bootstrap current. Such beta values coupled with 2--3 T toroidal fields imply a pilot plant about the size of the p… more
