Book Description
The conceptual design of an ohmically heated, reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating at (approximately)5-MW/m2 steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading and /approximately/124-MW total fusion power is presented. These results are useful in projecting the development of a cost effective, low input power (/approximately/206 MW) source of DT neutrons for large-volume (/approximately/10 m3), high-fluence (3.4 MW yr/m2) fusion nuclear materials and technology testing. 19 refs., 15 figs., 9 tabs.

Book Description
The conceptual design of an ohmically-heated, reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating with a 5-MWm2 steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading while generating (approximately)100-MW total fusion power is presented. These results are also useful in projecting the development of an economic source of DT neutrons for large-volume ((approximately)10 m3) fusion nuclear testing. 6 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.

Book Description
Results are presented from a preliminary scoping study of an ohmically-heated reversed-field pinch (RFP) operating with a steady-state DT fusion neutron wall loading in the range of 1 to 5 MW/m2 while generating less than 100 MW total fusion power. These results are also useful in projecting the development of ignition/burn RFPs, as well as offering an economic source of DT neutrons for fusion nuclear testing. 14 refs.

Book Description
The applicability of the Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) as a source of fusion neutrons for use in developing key fusion nuclear technologies is examined. This Fusion Test Facility (FTF) would emphasize high neutron wall loading, small plasma volume, low fusion and driver powers, and steady-state operation. Both parametric tradeoffs based on present-day physics understanding and a conceptual design based on an approx. 1-MW/mS (neutron) driven operation are reported. 10 refs.

Book Description
This carefully researched book presents facts and arguments showing, beyond a doubt, that nuclear fusion power will not be technically feasible in time to satisfy the world's urgent need for climate-neutral energy. The author describes the 70-year history of nuclear fusion; the vain attempts to construct an energy-generating nuclear fusion power reactor, and shows that even in the most optimistic scenario nuclear fusion, in spite of the claims of its proponents, will not be able to make a sizable contribution to the energy mix in this century, whatever the outcome of ITER. This implies that fusion power will not be a factor in combating climate change, and that the race to save the climate with carbon-free energy will have been won or lost long before the first nuclear fusion power station comes on line. Aimed at the general public as well as those whose decisions directly affect energy policy, this book will be a valuable resource for informing future debates.
