FTI Publications - Major Reports
The Fusion Technology Institute's detailed conceptual designs for magnetic and inertial fusion reactors and engineering test reactors are presented in these large documents. The studies aim to address and incorporate, in a self-consistent way, areas including plasma physics, materials, laser design, optics, neutronics, superconducting magnets, radiation damage, thermal hydraulics, safety, economics, power cycle analysis and materials resource implications.
