Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) detection efforts have largely been divided into two main groups: active and passive. Passive techniques are highly desirable in that a radiation source need not be employed in order to detect fissile materials which b

In Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) devices, a voltage difference between concentric, nearly transparent spherical grids accelerates ions to fusion-relevant velocities. The University of Wisconsin (UW) operates two IEC devices: a cylindrical

This paper describes a proof of principle experiment to produce 13N using an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion device. This radioisotope is often used in positron emission tomography ...

This paper investigates whether a fusion power plant could be designed to be passively proliferation-proof. Even low neutron production rates enable fissile-fuel breeding, so such a fusion reactor must burn neutron-lean fuels. To burn these fuels eco

It is shown that the long-range goal of the world fusion program can be to generate energy without long-lived radioactive waste and the associated safety problems that accompany today's nuclear power sources. This can ultimately be accomplished throu

A tritium-breeding blanket design is investigated for a D-T Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) scoping study. The thrust of our initial effort on the blanket has been to seek solutions as close to present-day technology as possible, and we have there

A generic magnetic fusion rocket model is developed and used to explore the limits of fusion propulsion systems. Two fusion fuels are examined, D-T and D-(He-3), and the D-(He-3) fuel cycle is found to give a higher specific power in almost all param

Could today's technology suffice for engineering advanced-fuel, magnetic-fusion power plants, thus making fusion development primarily a physics problem? Such a path would almost certainly cost far less than the present D-T development program, which

Several key areas are fundamentally different for D-T and advance-fuel fusion reactors. Although the physics constraints are generally more stringent for advanced fuels, the engineering advantages can dominate when assessing a concept. Assuming that

Magnetic fusion could enable the efficient, large-scale exploration and development of the Solar System. Several conceptual fusion reactor design studies indicate that magnetic fusion may be attrac...
