Fusion ignition driven by pulse power

Abstract

Disruption is a big problem for existing tokamak-path MCF and the paper explore a new ignition path with low-current-fusion (LCF) by high-gain high-field (HGHF) plasma suggested in Ref. [1. Li G., Sci. Rep. 5, 15790 (2015)]. Disruption risk could be mitigated easily due to the low current implementation at about 2–3 MA at large aspect ratio A >2 for better engineering implementation.
