ST, Tokamak, and GDT VNS Options

VNS Is to Carry Out Integrated Component Testing in High Duty Factor Fusion Operation (Abdou)

Given Proof of Performance Data, VNS Can Fulfill a Major Need in Fusion Energy Development

VNS Far Exceeds Point Neutron Source in Component Testing Capabilities (Abdou)

Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) Neutron Source (Ryutov) (See backup for detail)

Normal Conducting and Superconducting Examples for Tokamak-VNS Concept (Detail in Backup)

Database of D-T Fusion Burn Performance at Q ~ 1.5-5 Is Required by Tokamak-VNS

ST VNS Design Takes Advantage of Smaller, Simpler Fusion Core (Cheng et al., SBIR)

SuperCode Analysis Indicates High Relevance of First-Stability Regime (HF ~ 2, ITER93H) (Galambos)

Database of D-T Fusion Burn Performance at Q ~ 3 From a DTST Is Required by ST-VNS

NSTX Provides Proof-of-Principle Database (in Deuterium) for DTST in All Key Scientific Topics

NSTX Plans to Investigate the Principles of First-Stability and “Advanced Physics” Regimes

ST-VNS Advances Technology (Fluence), DTST Advances Q, Each by Two Orders of Magnitude

Advantages, Disadvantages, and Neutrals of the VNS Element
